## Chapter 8. Using Macros

Macros in jEdit are short scripts written in a scripting language called BeanShell. They provide an easy way to automate repetitive keyboard and menu procedures, as well as access to the objects and methods created by jEdit. Macros also provide a powerful facility for customizing jEdit and automating complex text processing and programming tasks. This section describes how to record and run macros. A detailed guide on writing macros appears later; see Part III, “Writing Macros”.
