feature request:
redo last action redoes the last snippet, macro or command that you just did.
I have a lot of commands and snippets and things that i only use once every so often. So I don't give them a tab completion or shortcut.
Many of them I would like to use multiple times in a row.
Currently, i could record a temporary macro, run the command and then rerun the temp macro. But I never remember to do that.
It would be way handier to have this extra function, too.
Thankyou, and goodnight everybody!

Actually, what might be better is a favorite searches feature. Most of my macros are just saved searches mapped to a function key. ...or not.
The drop-down in the search box for recent searches is nice, but i'd like to have some searched always show up in there.
Ideally saved searches would be bundle items like everything else.
Can a macro currently change the search and replace pasteboards?

No, because the search and replace clipboards are “local” for the duration of the macro. I wasn’t sure if this was always desirable when I added it, but this is actually the first time it has come up.
In theory it would be possible to put stuff on the find clipboard by using pbcopy with the ‘-pboard find’ argument. But in practice this is rather problematic, because there is no way to be notified about changes to the various clipboards, so TM will only check it when activated, but when de-activated it will take note of the current change count -- so to actually pull this off, one would need to de- activate TM, store something on the find clipboard, and then re- activate it.
And there is no similar argument for the replace clipboard.
