I love the scratch macro and the ability to replay it with a keyboard shortcut. How about a "replay last used macro"?
Sounds similar to the "run last command" requested a few days ago ;)
E.g., let's say I have a saved macro that I don't want to assign a keyboard shortcut to, but which I do want to use over and over again for a stretch in a document. Right now I've got to pick it out from the menu each time.
Actually, you can do a (new) scratch macro where you only run the real macro -- so that's: Automation -> Start Macro Recording (option-cmd-M) Replay Macro -> Some macro Automation -> Stop Macro Recording (option-cmd-M)
And now you have shift-cmd-M as key equivalent for “some macro”. I know it's an initial two extra steps, but OTOH it's more general (e.g. also works with commands).
Thoughts?
Not to keen about it currently. When I do real scripting I may add registers to access (and thus replay) last macro/command etc. so that this can be a user-extension for those who fancy it.
But I'll think some more about it... giving better access to commands and macros is something I would like (yes, I know about the drawer, palette, and toolbar suggestions, but I prefer a (more) keyboard friendly solution, like having a mini Quicksilver embedded in TM :) ).
