Questions from a new CudaText user

Hi,
finally I choose to switch my Win10 main text editor from SynW to Cuda and I did it on OSX too (will write about it on another thread).
Right now I'm concentrated on configuring UI on Windows platform as I don't like any theme (I find them too grey/dark), when I will finish I would like to bring same settings on OSX, how can I do it? I could manually copy user.cfg but what about themes?

I don't know if it is a MicroMap or a "Hilite Occurrences" plugin question but I would like to see something like SmartHighlighter does on N++: show references for highlighted words on micromap. Would it ever be possible? I think that "Find" could show references for found words too.

I have some macros on SynW to format strings to (i.e.) fiber channel wwn with : or to remove it. I can see there are commands on CT to start/stop/cancel recording macros but I don't know how to play a macro or choose which macro to play, hope there will be a full set of menu/plugin to easily handle macros.

As I really liked it, I tried to replicate color settings from another program, I was wondering if plugins (i.e. Brackets Hilite) could change font settings too (i.e. make it bold)

Thanks for your work.

Copy folder settings. it is user.json +others (cuda_* for plugins).
Copy folder "py"
Copy folder "data" (themes here)

I saved wish to GH- https://github.com/Alexey-T/CudaText/issues/686

Macros: plugin Macros does ALL job with macros. (it adds Macros menu item to the mainmenu.)

Thank you Alexey, you answered almost everything.
I saw .cudatext on OSX I will try to move settings once I solved a problem with OSX (will write about it on another thread) and I just installed Macros plugin on Windows but, do you think that make font bolder on matching brackets would be possible? Could it be another wish?

Thanks.

currently Brackets plugin cannot do bold/italic. maybe later...

Ok.

Another issue I found is that CT does not remain on focus/foreground if it is already open and a program tries to open another file (i.e. with Explorer Integration or with TotalCommander "Edit" function key). User settings for UI:

"ui_one_instance" : true,
"ui_notif" : true,
"ui_notif_time" : 2,

https://github.com/Alexey-T/CudaText/issues/595 -Maybe the same issue. I see that OS takes focus from Cud (edit file in Totalcmd, Cud shows on top, then OS shows TotalCmd on top) :\

Hi Alexey,
just downloaded and tried new CT, everything works but...I was talking about other hilited words.
I use the "Hilite Occurrences" plugin and I would to see that hilited words on MicroMap. Maybe it could be a plugin option like "show_on_micromap=true|false"?
Moreover it would be great if occurrences on MicroMap were show with a full width, horizontal bar instead of a near invisible point|vertical bar.

I saw there was a "Replace in selected text" wish (#63) marked as "hard to do/delayed" and user closed it.
As I often use it and a year passed from the original wish, did you worked on it?

Thanks.
