Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+R

Clicking the top-level Record button or Quick record item in the "Record" sub-menu of the Advanced tab immediately begins recording keystrokes and editor actions for later modification and macro playback. The purpose of this functionality is to provide the same ability as recording a macro but with a single keystroke to record and stop recording.

When quick recording is active, the button in the ribbon changes to Stop. Clicking on this, or pressing the macro quick record shortcut again will stop recording the macro. Additionally, a Macro notification along with a red "recording" icon will be shown in the second cell (towards the middle) of the status bar.

The command works in an identical manner to the Record macro command with the exception that it does not prompt for a macro name, shortcut key, etc. For a list of all functionality that is recorded during quick recording, refer to the Record macro topic.

After quick recording a macro, when playing the macro back, no cancel dialog is shown. In the macro list, the quick-recorded macro is shown with a blank name. If you begin quick recording again, any existing quick recorded macro or macro with a blank name is overwritten.

You can play back a quick recorded macro by selecting the Play again or Play multiple times command as with normal macros.
