<![CDATA[Recording Macro including URL Encode (RFC1738)]]>Hi,
I’m trying to create a Macro which does the following, when the cursor is placed before https://.
Unfortunately URL Encode (RFC1738) has not been executed.

  1. Select the text from https:// to </table>
  2. Ctrl+C: Copy the text to the clipboard
  3. Move the cursor down after “URL encode start”
  4. Ctrl+V: Paste the text from the clipboard
  5. Select the pasted text
  6. Ctrl+H: Use search and replace all occurrences in selection, extended, replace \r\n / CR LF by nothing/delete
  7. Ctrl+H: Use search and replace all occurrences in selection, extended, replace \t / TAB by nothing/delete
  8. Alt+i Plugins → MIME Tools → URL Encode (RFC1738) → This has not been executed
  9. Ctrl+S

Thank you in advance.

Plugin commands, like Plugins > MIME Tools > URL Encode cannot be recorded in a macro.

However, we have a sub-FAQ: “Using Plugin, Run-menu and Macro Commands in Macros” which explains how you can manually edit a recorded macro to include such a command (noting that caveat that if you add or remove plugins, you might have to update your macro to refer to the new menuCmdID for the plugin command).
