Macros Toolbar
Macros Toolbar can be now displayed. The Macros Toolbar displays all defined My Macros. Moreover, you can now change the icon, the title, and the tooltip of a macro button using #icon directive, #title directive, and #tooltip directive.

Keystroke and Mouse Operation Recording and Playback
EmEditor can now record and play keystrokes and mouse operation against other applications. This capability allows you to automate certain tasks xn the Desktop, on the browser, or on your favorite applications. For developers, this ability can be also used as testing your applications. The Window Object now includes all sorts of properties that can tell almost everything about the window, and the new Windows Collection can be used to enumerate top-level windows or child windows for a certain window. The new Shell Object was added to send keystroke and mouse activities and to enumerate or find top-level windows.

New Objects, Properties, and Methods for Macros
EmEditor Professional Version 7 introduces many new objects for configuration properties. Many other properties and methods were also added to the existing objects.

Option for Portability (Ready for a USB Drive Install)
You can now have an option to save all settings to INI files instead of the Registry. From the Import and Export Wizard (on the Tools menu), you can now have the options to export settings to INI files. Once EmEditor detects INI files in its directory, it does not save the settings to the Registry. The plug-in interface was extended to support the Registry and INI file manipulation.
