Macros supplied with jEdit, as well as macros that you record or write, are displayed under the 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 menu. An index of these macros containing short descriptions and usage notes is found in Appendix F, Macros Included With jEdit.
To run a macro, choose the 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 , or panes of the > dialog; see the section called “The Global Options Dialog Box”.
