This is the another implemetation of dynamic macro, forked from ndmacro.el.
First turn on global-yadmacro-mode.
Then press yadmacro-key (default <f9>)
after making number incrementation, decrementation, or repeated key operations.
See the Function section for detail.
The default yadmacro-key is <f9> you can change like below:
With use-package:
(use-package yadmacro
:custom (yadmacro-key "C-t")
:config (global-yadmadro-mode 1))With leaf
(leaf yadmacro
:custom (yadmacro-key . "C-S-e")
:global-minor-mode global-yadmadro-mode)Of course, such a setting is also possible.
(require 'yadmacro)
(global-set-key (kbd "<f9>") 'yadmacro)This package is the tool for automating repetitive tasks by predicting and executing the next action based on repeated sequences of key operations or sequential numbering.
It uses a special "repeat key" specified
by yadmacro-key to detect repetitions or sequential numbering of operations and execute them.
For example, if the user types
abcabc
and then presses the yadmacro-key,
yadmacro.el will detect the repetition of the input operation "abc" and execute it,
resulting in the text becoming:
abcabcabc
Similarly, if the user types
abcdefab
and then presses the yadmacro-key,
yadmacro.el will interpret this as a repetition of the input "abcdef",
predict and execute the remaining part "cdef",
resulting in the text becoming:
abcdefabcdef
Pressing the yadmacro-key again will repeat the input "abcdef",
resulting in the text becoming:
abcdefabcdefabcdef
For example, if the user types:
100,101,
and then presses the yadmacro-key,
yadmacro.el recognizes a string consisting of numbers from 0 to 9 as a number,
and repeats the input operation while increasing or decreasing that number.
The resulting string will be:
100,101,102,
The prediction for whether to increase or decrease the number, and by how much, is arbitrary.
However, when decreasing the number, if the result becomes negative, zero is returned. Once it reaches zero, it will not decrease further.
When the leading digits of the numerical part are filled with one or more 0's,
the upper digits are also filled with 0's to match the number of columns.
For example:
abc001.txt
abc002.txt
If you type this and then press the yadmacro-key, the result will be:
abc001.txt
abc002.txt
abc003.txt
You can increase or decrease multiple numbers simultaneously. For example:
001010
002009
If you type this and then press the yadmacro-key, the result will be:
001010
002009
003008
The example below was suggested:
2x1=2
2x2=4
If you type this and then press the yadmacro-key, the result will be EXPECTED:
2x1=2
2x2=4
2x3=6
BUT, the result will be:
2x1=2
2x2=4
3x2=6
I think the behvior is undesirable.
The original version of dmacro.el was written and published
by 増井俊之 masui@ptiecan.com and 太和田誠 on 1993-04-14.
On 1995-3-30 増井 modified it for Emacs 19.
This version is published 増井's github page:
https://github.com/masui/DynamicMacro/blob/master/emacs/dmacro.el.
On 2002-03, it was extended for XEmacs by 小畑英司 & 峰伸行, This version can be seen here: http://www.pitecan.com/papers/JSSSTDmacro/dmacro.el.
Now,dmacro.el is being maintained and developed by
emacs-jp community.
The repository is here:
https://github.com/emacs-jp/dmacro.
Another version of dynamic macro ndmacro.l was developed by kia on 2003-06-30 for
xyzzy.
This package supports not only repeated key sequence but also sequential numbering.
The original website is now disappeared but archived here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190330074136/http://www.geocities.jp/kiaswebsite/xyzzy/ndmacro.l.txt.
The Emacs version of ndmacro.el was written by snj14 on 2012-02-08 and
is published here: https://github.com/snj14/ndmacro.el.
The repository yadmaro.el was forked from ndmacro.el.
