Using F3 to search doesn’t seem to work in a macro, the macro recorded looks to be cursor movement, not an actual search. e.g…
{
"args":
{
"by": "words",
"forward": false
},
"command": "move"
},
{
"args":
{
"by": "words",
"forward": false
},
"command": "move"
},
{
"args":
{
"by": "words",
"forward": false
},
"command": "move"
},
{
"args":
{
"by": "words",
"extend": true,
"forward": false
},
"command": "move"
},
{
"args": null,
"command": "right_delete"
},
{
"args":
{
"by": "word_ends",
"forward": true
},
"command": "move"
},
{
"args":
{
"by": "word_ends",
"forward": true
},
"command": "move"
},
{
"args":
{
"by": "characters",
"forward": true
},
"command": "move"
},
{
"args":
{
"characters": "1,"
},
"command": "insert"
},
{
"args":
{
"characters": " "
},
"command": "insert"
},
{
"args":
{
"by": "lines",
"forward": true
},
"command": "move"
},
{
"args":
{
"extend": false,
"to": "bol"
},
"command": "move_to"
}
]
Also recording macros seems to be really problematic when lines start wrapping. The keystrokes required to navigate around a line change depending on whether the line starts to wrap during the macro.
For anyone who needs a text editor which has good macro support Sublime Text 3 seems like it’s not an option at this point.
