Macro capabilities

💡 Features / Ideas

I frequently need to manipulate CSV files. For example:

First Name [Required],Last Name [Required],Email Address [Required],Status [READ ONLY],Last Sign In [READ ONLY],Licenses [READ ONLY]
Aadyn,smith,28asmith@student.swjcs.us,Active,2026/05/22 06:53:45,“1010310008,1010070001”
Aarilyn,Orvil,32aorvil@student.swjcs.us,Suspended,2021/09/02 09:05:31,1010070001
Aaron,Bolan,32abolan@student.swjcs.us,Suspended,2023/11/22 06:47:16,1010070001

I sometimes need to delete any lines with ‘Suspended’ or remove the time. In GVim, I can record a macro by performing several actions on one line. Then I can run the macro on any other line or all lines. When a file is several thousand lines long, this is a huge time saver.

In GVim I can use the keystrokes, (3 f,) to go to the 3rd comma in a line. Then delete or add as needed.

Currently I open the file in GVim and after recording and running the macro, I paste into Checkvist.

Thanks, @Kevin_Dillman, that’s a clear scenario.

It is quite tough to implement. Vim is smart with its editing shortcuts, Checkvist is not there yet.

Actually, I’m glad the approach with external editing and pasting in Checkvist works for you.

Thanks again,
