+    \title Using Text Editing Macros
+
+    When you have a file open in the code editor, you can record a keyboard
+    sequence as a macro. You can then play the macro to repeat the sequence.
+    You can save the latest macro and assign a keyboard shortcut for running
+    it or run it from the locator.
+
+    To record a text editing macro, select \gui {Tools > Macros > Record Macro}
+    or press \key {Alt+(}. To stop recording, select \gui {Tools > Macros >
+    Stop Recording Macro} or press \key {Alt+)}.
+
+    To play the last macro, select \gui {Tools > Macros > Play Last Macro} or
+    press \key {Alt+R}.
+
+    To save the last macro, select \gui {Tools > Macros > Save Last Macro}.
+
+    To assign a keyboard shortcut to a text editing macro, select \gui {Tools >
+    Options... > Environment > Keyboard}. For more information, see
+    \l{Configuring Keyboard Shortcuts}.
+
+    You can also use the \c rm locator filter to run a macro. For more
+    information, see \l{Searching With the Locator}.
+
+    To view and remove saved macros, select \gui {Tools > Options... > Text
+    Editor > Macros}.
