You do know that we run a mailing list? ;)

Currently only in memory -- I may keep it in the preferences, so that 
it'll remember the last scratch macro from last session.

However, the format they are stored in is custom -- I figured it would 
often be easier simply to re-record the macro again, than to use an 
editor to change an existing.

When you save a macro it ends up in:
  ~/Library/Application 
Support/TextMate/Bundles/Custom.tmbundle/Macros/<name>.plist

You /can/ edit this file, and I know some do. But it's officially not 
supported, and the format (despite being a normal property list) is 
undocumented ;)




Kind regards Allan
