Re: [Emacs+ Discussion: 115] keyboard macro not working as expected

[Mark Feber]

It appears to be a change in the way Eclipse is handling SHIFT-char characters at a very low level.  I encounter this on a Mac, but not sure if it is a pervasive issue with Indigo, or just MacIndigo.

It would be helpful if you could supply:

1) Your Eclipse version

2) Your OS platform

I have the following text:

I wrote a macro, that starting on the second line before the {{p, p1... would break up the long line into its component parts:

com.mulgasoft.emacsplus.isearchForward
SHIFT]SHIFT],
[x]
com.mulgasoft.emacsplus.forwardChar
com.mulgasoft.emacsplus.backwardChar
\r\b

In english this is:

  Search for the next location of "}},"
  Move forward to behind the next "{"
  Insert a return
  Hit Delete key once to move text back in line with text above

The macro ended fine.

I tried to execute it with ^-X e, but I got a bell ding.

I named it, bound it, still the same result.

I read the caveats about keyboard macros and don't see how the issues apply, other than maybe this line:

   To enable Meta-X execution of a named keyboard macro, the Emacs+ Keyboard Macros category must be present in this list.  If it is not, select New and add it from the interface.

I went to the Emacs+ Preferences by opening up the Preferences on my Eclipse (version Indigo Service Release 2, build id: 20120216-1857) and searched for Emacs+.

I found the prefs page, but do not see a list of categories or a new button.

Anyone know why this macro isn't working as I expect it to?

Thanks.
