Some general issues
NEdit server
This Nedit Macro-Kit fully work with the nedit-server binary. It means that you must use nc (or ncl) instead of NEdit.
Working directory
Some macros have to know the directory in which they must be executed (for compilation by example).
These working directory can be handle in three different ways:
Local mode :
theworking directory is always the directory of the current file.
Global mode :
In this mode, the working directory is always the same, and do not depends on the current file.
Multi-mode : in this mode, there are several global working directories. When NEdit doesn't recognize any of them, it chooses the current directory. NEdit recognize one of the working directories when the current file path is in its sub-hierarchy
macro_paramaters.nm file
It's a very good idea to have a look at the file macro_paramaters.nm. It contains a lot of deflaut parameters which can be modify or extend. To open that file, use the window background menu : "Customize -> change macro parameters".
Shorcuts
Almost all the Nedit Macro-Kit macros are associated with a shortcut. Unfortunately, the X-server often use all of them by default. To solve this problem, it can be a good idea to remove all the X-server shortcuts that you never use.
