plugin Macros

[LuNik700]

Hi,
there seems to be a simular issue with recorded macros as there was with alignments ...

The recorded macro does not work on the last line of a document when CRLF is missing.

Do you need screenshots reproduce this behavior?


And a suggestion to add a little bit more convenience ...
If you need a macro to run until the end of the document, then beside checking the options "While text changes" and "Until caret on last line" you need to set the option "Times" to "0"

Wouldn't it in this case make sense to deactivate "Times" when those 2 options are set?


Thanks a lot for your kind support in advance!

About 'until caret on last line'.
I see it.
IMO it's not a bug. Code from plugin

Code: Select all

        def _run_chk():
            for s in _mcr:
                exec(s)
                if ed.get_carets()[0][1] >= ed.get_line_count()-1:
                    return True

it means that plugin runs all items from macro, and after each item it checks that we are on the last line. So - it stops if caret is on the last line. And macro don't work for last line.

'Times' makes sense even when using 'until caret on last line'. Macro will stop on both events: 'times' (if >0) + 'until on last line'.

... but why should I check "While text changes" and "Until caret on last line" when I only want the macro to run n times???

That would mean that one must record a macro in a way that the cursor is on the last character of the line (respectivly "behind" the position I want to change) when the macro is ever supposed to run over the whole document (or alternatively I would have to insert a extra CRLF).
This perhaps works like designed but I think that's a far too complicated approach. From other editors I know functionality that gives the opportunity to let the macro run until the end of the document. For my needs that would be sufficient.

Maybe plugin can be fixed- insert last EOL, then work, then delete that EOL. it will be the easy fix. How to fix that another way- IDK...

Yep, that what I meant by

alternatively I would have to insert a extra CRLF

Fix is applied to Macros, plugin is updated now.

... already installed the new version. For me it works fine!

This is a really active project. Thanks for that fast reaction!!!
