I just created a macro (manually) to find all instances of the current word using these commands:
( { command = 'selectWord:'; }, { command = 'copySelectionToFindPboard:'; }, { command = 'findAll:'; }, )
When I perform the actions manually with ctrl-w, cmd-e, cmd-opt-f, all instances of the word flash yellow, but this doesn't happen when using the macro. Am I using the wrong commands, or is it not possible to get the same behavior? Thanks,

The “flash” is only done when the find is a result of a direct user action as many macros do “find next” as part of their implementation, and for these we do not want the flashes or the tool tips to show.
