ok, then you need multiple lines of

notepad.runMenuCommand('Macro', 'NAME OF THE MACROS AS SHOWN IN Macro MENU')

[Ekopalypse]

You can test if the command has been successfully sent if you
execute it via the console like I did in the first screenshot.
It has to return true. If false appears then something is wrong with your command.

i created the macro codes now what? use the run command but what program?

[Ekopalypse]

@kracovwolf
You use notepad++. Goto Plugins->PythonScript->Scripts
and click your python script.

[kracovwolf]

nothing happened, nothing in console except the Ready message

@kracovwolf
What should the macros do?

[kracovwolf]

they all change spelling errors and remove junk in subtitle files. i double checked the macro names, cases are fine, spaces too.

[Ekopalypse]

@kracovwolf

run one command in the console and see what it returns.

[kracovwolf]

it says false.
notepad.runMenuCommand(‘Run’, ‘Subtitle All’)
that is the exact name of one macro

@kracovwolf said in paragraph line break:

notepad.runMenuCommand('Macro', 'Subtitle All')

Great - now I can go to bed, already 1:30 here. Good night

[Alan Kilborn]

Wow. Wow. At least it ended with success. :-)

[kracovwolf]

do you know if the macros are stored in notepads settings? i might need to copy everything to another computer

[astrosofista]

Hi @kracovwolf

Yes, macros are stored in shortcuts.xml, which in my configuration is located here C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml.

Have fun!
