23. Macro Editor

The macro editor is an enhancement to the Command Line interface and allows you to create a list of commands that
are executed in one operation.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: This is particularly useful if you have a sequence of commands that you use frequently.
Creating a macro enables you to activate the sequence in one operation rather than entering each command manually.
You can use the macro editor to create new macros or to edit existing ones.
Open the "Macro Editor" by clicking on the button at the bottom of the Command Line interface or by pressing F10
on your keyboard.
