Description

Macros are series of internal FlashDevelop commands that are processed for arguments. These can be runned automaticly on application start or as commands during development. The macro management dialog creates menu items for these macros (unless you run them on start) where you can specify shortcuts and icons for the macros. Macros can be exported and imported so they are fairly easy to share with other users.


Syntax and samples

One individual command entry is: 

<Command>|<Parameters>

So for example this command executes a script in development mode and letting user to select the file: 

ExecuteScript|Development;$(OpenFile)

Here is another sample that saves all modified *.as files and opens the command prompt: 

SaveAllModified|as
RunProcess|cmd.exe
