Hi folks, I haven't tinkered with my macros in quite a while. Today I was trying to write a project method that returns some text. The idea being to run the method from a macro and plug the result directly into the method being edited. Here's the what I was working with: <macro name="resdoc_add" version="2" in_menu="true" type_ahead="true" type_ahead_text="rd1"> <text><method>resdoc_macro(<selection/>)</method></text> </macro>
Is this possible? I found some examples on Miyako's github where he would do something similar but then put the result into the clipboard. So, I thought, I guess that's what I have to do. So I changed the method to put the result into the clipboard and then attempted to get the clipboard within the macro: <macro name="resdoc_add" version="2" in_menu="true" type_ahead="true" type_ahead_text="rd1"> <text><method>resdoc_macro(<selection/>)</method></text> <clipboard/> </macro> My thinking here is, put the text into the clipboard and then get the clipboard. This doesn't work (v15.5). What does work is running the macro (puts the text into the clipboard) and the pasting manually. Adequate in this case but I'm thinking I must be missing something. Here's hoping one of you macro aficionados can help me out.
