Sublime Text Command Palette for playing macro

Question

Is it possible to play a saved macro using the command palette?

I know that it is possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to a macro but that is another thing to remember and not very feasible when you have more than a few macros.

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible. You need to save your macro to a file at ../sublime-text-3/Packages/User/YOUR_MACRO_NAME.sublime-macro. Then add the following code to file ../sublime-text-3/Packages/User/Default.sublime-commands:

[
    {
    "caption": "ADD TEXT TO BE DISPLAYED ON COMMAND PALETTE",
    "command": "run_macro_file",
    "args":
        {
            "file": "res://Packages/User/YOUR_MACRO_NAME.sublime-macro"
        }
    }
]
