If the macro is intended for temporary use only, you can leave the name blank. In the Enter Macro Name dialog, specify the name for the new macro and click OK. Press or select Edit | Macros | Stop Macro Recording. Perform necessary actions that you want to be recorded. Open the Edit menu, point to Macros, and click Start Macro Recording.

For permanent macros, assign unique names. You cannot record button clicks, navigating to popups, and accessing tool windows, menus, and dialogs.Ī temporary macro can be used without a name.


Macros can be used to combine a sequence of editor-related actions within a file. You can record, edit and play back macros, assign a shortcut to them, and share them. Macros provide a convenient way to automate repetitive procedures you do frequently while writing code.
