Execute menu item from macro?

Submitted by kwerle on Tuesday, 31 August, 2004 - 08:18

I have just written a very useful console command. It works just the way I want. Unfortunately, console doesn't seem to let you create shortcuts for commands you wrote (another issue). Is it possible for me to write a macro that will call a specific menu item?

I just want it to do something very simple:
executeMenuItem("Plugins.Console.MyCommand");

Is there such a thing, and I'm just not seeing it?

TIA

invoking action

Hi,

AFAIK, all menu items have a corresponding action, so what you want to do is invoke the action.

An easy way to list all the actions available (so you can find out which one corresponds to the menu item you want) is by running the "Display Actions" macro. You can find it in the Macros menu, Misc, Display Actions.

I invoke an action inside a macro by doing this:

jEdit.getAction("name-of-action-I-want-to-invoke").invoke(view);

It works ok, but I have a feeling there might be a better way of doing this.

Display Actions macro new in 4.2

I'm still using 4.1. I'm one of those hold-outs that waits for official releases. I do wonder why 4.2 hasn't been released...

I'll look for the source and see if I can get it to run under 4.1.

[EDIT: GAH! They seem to have just released it. I'll give it a shot under 4.2]

Works great - thanks!
