Saving and restoring recorded macros.
-
Tell me. I somehow already searched and did not find the saved macros on the local machine. Neither the files nor the registry.
Today, after reinstalling the OS with a complete wipe of the hard drive, I found that all the macros that I saved on the old computer were completely restored on the new one.
Tell us how this is possible, and how I could transfer the saved macros to another computer?
Thank you very much in advance.

As described in the official documents at https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/ , Macros are stored in
shortcuts.xml. That file is saved in the same folder as all the other Notepad++ configuration files (including your preferences, file history, etc).- In a normal installation, they go in
%AppData%\Notepad++\ - In a normal installation with Settings > Preferences > Cloud enabled, they go in the DropBox/OneDrive/etc folder listed in that setting
- In a portable copy, they go in the same folder as
notepad++.exe
So, if you copied one or more of those folders onto the new computer, then that’s how.
