Macros

Last modified: 22 October 2024

Macros provide a convenient way to automate repetitive procedures you do frequently while writing code. You can record, edit, and play back macros, assign shortcuts to them, and share them.

  • Macros can be used to combine a sequence of editor-related actions within a file.

  • You can't record button clicks, navigating to popups, and accessing tool windows, menus, and dialogs.

A temporary macro can be used without a name. For permanent macros, assign unique names.
