Edit keyboard macros with the Macro Library expert

The GExperts Macro Library expert can now display and edit keyboard macros that have been recorded in the Delphi IDE.

It uses the information I described in my article on Interpreting Delphi IDE Keyboard Macros.

You get to this dialog via the context menu of a macro.

It allows you not only to display and edit text.

But also special keys.

And, on top of that, it works with Unicode, in Unicode aware IDEs (>= Delphi 2005).

(The above are Arabic characters, but I have no idea whether it means anything. I just typed a few keys.)

Just in case you are interested in these two keyboard macros:

ReadOnly Property
Read Write Property

Save these files anywhere and load them into the Macro Library expert.

They are supposed to generate a property for a class’ field: Copy the field definition from the private section to the public section. Position the cursor on the first character and start the macro.
