Macros supplied with jEdit, as well as macros that you record or write, are displayed under the Macros menu in a hierarchical structure. The jEdit installation includes about 30 macros divided into several major categories. Each category corresponds to a nested submenu under the Macros menu. An index of these macros containing short descriptions and usage notes is found in Appendix F.
There is a very large collection of additional macros available at the jEdit community web site in the "Downloads" section. The collection includes macros distributed with earlier versions of jEdit as well as many macros contributed by members of the jEdit development team and other users. There are detailed descriptions for each entry as well as a search facility.
To run a macro, choose the Macros menu, navigate through the hierarchy of submenus, and select the name of the macro to execute. You can also assign execution of a particular macro to a keyboard shortcut, toolbar button or context menu using the Macro Shortcuts, Tool Bar or Context Menu panes of the Utilities>Global Options dialog; see the section called "The Global Options Dialog Box".
Macros>Run Last Macro (shortcut: Control-M Control-L) runs the last macro run by jEdit again.
