Doesn't Lazarus support macro recording and play back?

I think I used it earlier this week once or twice but after a weeks
worth of installing and removing components rebuilding and clean
rebuilding of lazarus it doesn't seem to work any longer tried to
locate the short cut in the options window but did not find anything.
Any one has an idea what I'm missing?

Have a look through the wiki and search for macro... it should be
there.

Already did that, searched through the first 100 of 500 results and
stopped. All of the pages are talking about the internal macro
mechanism macros that you specify for paths code completion and
various other tasks nothing to do with recording a keyboard macro and
playing it back.

After  seeing your message I searched on "Macro Recorder" and it gave
me 2 results one of which is the Lazarus_0.99.0_release_notes page
where it is stated clearly that it has not been implemented yet.

So I must got confused with codetyphon that I evaluated a week ago.

Thank you.

implemented'.
It's available in the development version (I think CodeTyphon also
uses this instead of the release version). You can get it by
downloading one of the daily snapshots (see link on the left).

0.9.30.x does not

thank you every one for your valuable inside.

I'm going to try to minimize the noob questions as much as possible.

Well your question was ok.

I do not think it is anywhere properly documented (yet). It is
mentioned on the release notes for the next release.

0.9.31 Is the stable option (and contains what will be the next
release)

1.1 is (currently probably similar stable) the more advanced. It has
the ability to save macros in your session (Menu "View" > "Editor
Macros")

--- EDIT:
Documentation has been added

Taazz, please don't minimize the questions: just wanted to say thank
you for doing your own research, and helping others on the forum. You
stand out from a lot of others who just ask questions without seeming
to investigate themselves and expect instant answers.

Thanks,
BigChimp
