Macro Record and Playback support for Eclipse editors.
Current features:
- Action for toggle record and playback last macro (added to toolbar).
- Record and playback Eclipse Commands triggered in the KeyBindingDispatcher.
- Record and playback keystrokes in the text editor.
- Persist and load the last recorded macro to/from disk.
- Other plugins may participate in the record/playback (through the org.xeclipse.macros.macro-plugin.core.macroStateListeners extension point).
- Clients may skip the recording of eclipse commands through the org.xeclipse.macros.macro-plugin.core.commandHandling extension point.
- Visual feedback on what's being recorded done through the status bar.
- Notify that the recording is not working if the user changes to another editor or tries to use the find dialog.
This plugin is based on the Eclipse Macros Incubation Plugin (https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-macros-incubation). It was forked from the eclipse e4 Project because the macro plugin there was not maintained.
