Introducing to Macro-N

[CodeNameTwister]

Description

This plugin allows you to simplify any complex and repetitive code in just a few steps.

First Step: Creating Macro

For this example we take a random code

Note

It doesn't need to be enclosed in multiple quotes, it was just used to prevent the error from being highlighted.

Important

Look the arguments : arg0 and arg1 It will be important for later

Second Step: Save Macro

Now select the code and open the RMB context menu and select Macro-N.

You will see an information editing window that you must complete to save the new macro.

• Shortcut ID: It is the macro that you will use to invoke.
  • in addition all the words that are arg0, arg1, arg2... argN (argN with N: number accompanied) can replace text in the content of the code.
• Description of the macro: Don't forget to fill it out to find out what it's about.
• Macro Content: is the code of the macro, you can edit here before save.

Important

I put generate at the beginning but you can put whatever you want as an example: fn arg0 arg1 arg2.
It is enough that part of the text matches (see final example)

Final Step: Test the Macro

After saving your macro, it's time to test it.

1. Write the Macro and Replace arg0 and arg1 with the arguments you want.
2. After selecting everything and using the shortcut CTRL+E as shown in the image.
3. Check the result.

Knowledge

• CTRL+E : Invoke Macro.
• CTRL+SHIFT+E: Invoke Macro with by pass (It respects additional text you have selected and can invoke nested macros within the macro content.)
• Context Menu: Show only to create Macro-N if you have text selected.
• ATL+END: Show All Macro-N saved.
• macro-n/save: This is where you have your macros saved.

Hey!, remember that it is still in the testing phase, report any problems you have for a quick solution.

Extra

In this example I will insert static text anywhere along with the arguments

# Shortcut: my_macro class_name arg0 custom_class_path arg1 custom_class_function arg2
m cn MyGeneratedClass ccp "res://custom/class.gd" ccf "MyCustomAction" # < My New Macro created with **argN** replaced
