Solution Description

Macro Record and Playback support for Eclipse editors (currently in Eclipse incubation, but aimed at being integrated into Eclipse itself).

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.eclipse.e4.core.macros.macroStateListeners extension point).
  • Clients may skip the recording of eclipse commands through the org.eclipse.e4.core.macros.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.
