Notepad++ macros

In Windows the macros are saved at %AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml (Windows logo key + E and copy&paste %AppData%\Notepad++\)
Or:

• In Windows < 7 (including Win2008/R2) the macros are saved at C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml
• In Windows 7|8|10 C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml

For Windows 7 macros are stored at C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml.

On Vista with virtualization on, the file is here. Note that the AppData folder is hidden. Either show hidden folders, or go straight to it by typing %AppData% in the address bar of Windows Explorer.

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml

Hit F6
Insert::

npp_open $(PLUGINS_CONFIG_DIR)\..\..\shortcuts.xml

Click OK
You now have the file opened in your editor.

Before altering, checkout the related docs.

Note: You will need to close Notepad++ if you have any new macros you want to 'export'.
