I recently upgraded to Toad for Oracle 12.12. Recording key stroke macros is not working the same. The Enter key is being recorded as ‘Replace Selection’. In my previous version of Toad (12.5) it was recorded as 'Break line at current position, move caret to new line '. Am I wrong to expect the same functionality when I playback a recorded macro as when I recorded it?
Whether or not there is a selection, all character and newline inserts are reported as replace selection. In the case of no selection the keystroke is replacing a zero length selection at the caret position thus functioning as an insert character operation. Even if the macro includes selection commands whether or not keystrokes actually replace a selection or simply insert text depends on the Editor text. In some cases a macro's selection commands may not make a selection. For example, the caret is at document start and the macro records commands to select previous characters.
Am I wrong to expect the same functionality when I playback a recorded macro as when I recorded it?
It should playback, is it not? I can't reproduce any issue with newlines so please provide steps if you are seeing problems during playback.

While recording the new line kept the same indentation as the current line. When playing back, it does not. The only step in the macro is Enter on the keyboard - saved as Replace Selection.

This is a test. I am recording the macro with the caret right before the “I”

Looks like newline entered via macro playback needs to observe the auto indent option. The option is applied on keystroke, but not playback. Thanks, I’ll log.
