reckmac.el

Reckmac stands for recursive keyboard macros.

By default in emacs you cannot call another keyboard macro while you are currently defining a keyboard macro unless you first give that other macro a name.

Reckmac solves this problem.

Functions

Here is documentation for all the interactive functions that reckmac provides.

reckmac-start-or-end-macro

If not currently recording a macro then start recording a macro. If currently recording a macro then finish recording.

Before starting to record a macro you will be prompted to pick what register you want to record into.

reckmac-execute-macro

Execute a reckmac macro. You will be prompted for the register of the macro you want to execute.

If this function is called while currently recording a macro then the macro you execute will be added to the macro you are recording.

reckmac-execute-last-macro

Execute the most recently recorded macro. This is just a convenience wrapper around reckmac-execute-macro.

reckmac-name-macro

Name a reckmac macro.

reckmac-name-last-macro

Name the most recently recorded macro. This is just a convenience wrapper around reckmac-name-macro.

Tip

You will probably want to bind keys to reckmac-start-or-end-macro, reckmac-execute-macro, and reckmac-execute-last-macro.
