QUESTION1 and 2:
Is there a way to open the “Search” dialog box from within an EmEditor macro? Is there a way to trigger an EmEditor menu item to open from a macro?

For example, it would be nice to be able to fire activation of Tools :: Plugins :: Explorer from inside a macro. It would be nice to have access to all menu items from inside a macro.

QUESTION23
If No to question 1, is there a recommended way to do “sendkeys” from within a macro so that you can send the key necessary to open the dialog box or menu?

In the help it says that it is not recommended to send keys directly to EmEditor, and yet when recording macros with the record feature, it records keystrokes. What is the story here?

thanks for any help

You can open Explorer plug-in from a macro:

editor.ExecuteCommandByID( nID );

, but you cannot have access to all menu items within the plug-in.

You cannot send keys from within a macro. EmEditor can record keystrokes only toward another application.
