Macros
Macros provide a convenient way to automate repetitive procedures you do frequently while writing code. You can record, edit and play back macros, assign a shortcut to them, and share them.
Macros can be used to combine a sequence of editor-related actions within a file.
You cannot 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.
Record a macro
Open the Edit menu, point to Macros, and click Start Macro Recording.
Perform necessary actions that you want to be recorded.
Press
or select Edit | Macros | Stop Macro Recording.
In the Enter Macro Name dialog, specify the name for the new macro and click OK.
If the macro is intended for temporary use only, you can leave the name blank.
Play back a macro
To play back a temporary macro, open the Edit menu, point to Macros, and click Play Back Last Macro.
To play back a named macro, open the Edit menu, point to Macros, and click the necessary macro name.
Edit macros
Open the Edit menu, point to Macros, and click Edit Macros.
