geanymacro plugin cannot record search/replace actions (Windows 10)

Open aks2161989 opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

When I record a macro and search/replace in the document, the macro does not get recorded. If I click on 'Edit macro', the search and replace actions are not visible.

Also, I keep getting a message box "unrecognised message" when I replace text while recording.

Geany version: 1.36

It happens in Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS as well.

The plugin only records actions that are performed by Scintilla, if has no way of knowing about Geany's internal actions, and Geany does not perform searches via Scintilla and so they don't get recorded. The changes made for replaces should get recorded, though that may not be very useful.
