another way to modify and delete shortcuts and macros is through:

Settings > Keyboard > Tab “Macros”

(shortcuts.xml did not contain my macro, maby because I did not close Notepad++ and it was never actually saved to a file?)

Thanks for the tip, Sean.

@d and Francesco:

Actually, user-created macros are *not* being saved in shortcuts.xml as that StackOverflow post (and many other websites) state. At least not in my version (5.4.2). Haven’t been able to find where they’re stored yet.

Quite frustrating to be working so hard to figure out how to edit a macro in a tool geared towards programmers. Even M$ World let you edit macros!
