Can macro key strokes be viewed?

I have a textpad macro file that includes a regular expression and I would like to see exactly what key strokes are being executed when the macro is used. Specifically I'd like to know what regular expression is being used by the macro. Can this be done?

The short answer is no.
Adding editable macros to TextPad is probably the number one feature request.

Ok, thanks. I'll add a macro editor to my wishlist too.

What does that regular expression do?

As I started to put-to-words what the macro does I realized that the regular expression in it is not interesting. I now realize that there are keystrokes for the textpad "Match Brackets" function in the macro. I was previously trying to figure out how a regular expression could be used to match brackets (in a case where there could be a varying number of matched brackets within the matched brackets I am interested in).

Thanks for question - it answered mine!
