Functionality to Edit Macros, etc

Post by prmyers »

I have just found the macro recorder and have used it to create two macros to change the HTML tags on my Bookmark file and then save the result under a new filename.

My suggested enhancement, as I have been unable to locate what I am looking for, would be to add functionality to:

1. Enable the user to edit a recorded macro, so that extraneous keystrokes, etc, can be removed or modifications made;

2. Enable the user to physically key in their own macros via a macro editor screen to perform functions which can't be recorded; and,

3. In line with 2 above, develop and provide appropriate Help page information to allow the user to learn the keywords and syntax required to create and edit recorded and user-written macros.

I would hope that the above enhancement may be considered worthy and perhaps considered for inclusion sooner rather than later.

Thank you

Hi Paul,

note that there's this thread where I suggested "Editable Macros" which is pretty much the same as yours:

http://www.textpad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3775

If you haven't already, I'd like to suggest to vote there too. 8)
Jeffy (more or less) regularly posts an analysis of the enhancement suggestions to a thread, so we can see how the suggestions are ranked. :D

Cheers
