Hi, I suggest that VAX should automatically turn off when you start recording a keyboard macro (Ctrl-Shift-R is the usual shortcut). If I don't turn it off manually, some parentheses will be "eaten", so that when I playback I don't get the correct result.
recording the action of typing in the single line of C++ code:
int nFred = atoi(3);
and playing it back gave me:
int nFred = atoi3;
which was unexpected. normally i only use macros for formatting and mechanical things which are not effected. work around for now is to disable VAX manually before recording a macro.
You may have to disable it when playing back as well. When text is inserted VAX menu pop into view over and over again. I have never seen any unexpected text inserted but it is unsightly.
i was under the impression that VAX automatically disables its self during macro playback. what sort of thing are you doing in your quick macro's, and what IDE + version of VAX are you using?
i disabled VAX and recorded a quick macro to insert the code:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
}
i then enabled VAX and played back this macro 6 times in a row. no VAX popup's occurred at any point.
