Navigator, Menu, RightClick macro lists

Post by E Programmer »

When I add a macro in the macro template for a language it puts the macro in the Macros tab on the Navigator (in no particular order) and at the bottom of the Macros drop down menu.

Is there a way to edit the list in Navigator page (eg I don't need Sample Macro example) and the drop down menu?

Is there a way to get the macros included in the list when I right click and select Macro?

Thanks

The Navigator panel list all the macros and templates for the document type. This list is ordered alphabetically.

For the macros there is the Add to popup menu check box option that controls the popup menu.

For the templates there are Add to main menu and Add to popup menu check boxes that controls the main and popup menus.
(eg I don't need Sample Macro example) and the drop down menu?

It looks like unlike the templates menu, the macros main menu is not configurable :(

This is controlled by the Add to popup menu check box option.

Thanks.. the 'Add to Popup Menu' was what I needed.

The macro list is not alphabetical in the Navigator Macro Panel.

It seems to be alphabetical for the first 7 entries, then the next 11 entries are alphabetical. I'm not sure what gets a macro in the 1st list or the 2nd list. But there is no indication between the lists. Here is what I see:

Add/Remove Comments
DOS Command Line Prompt
Insert Page Break
Simple Macro Example
Slashdot Web Page
Sum the Marked Area
Technical Support, Bugs and Feedback
-----------Beginning new alphabetic list
Add Comment --- my own macro
Add E-mail quotes to Text
Convert 'xxx' file to HTML
Insert Filename and Date/Time
Lua Reference Manual
Linewrap Paragraph
Python Reference Manual
Re-indent and re-style the xxx file
Remove Comment --- my own macro
Welcome to Zeus for Windows

Another thing...Suggestion, not a bug: On the right click menu in the navigator it would be nice if I could load the macro source (eg the Simple Macro Example) instead of using the macro menu.

Both the templates and the macros consist of the combination of two list.

The first list comes from the Default Document Type and the second from the Document Type of the active file.

So in other words to add a macro or template for all docment types just add it to the Default Document Type.
