Once you have recorded a macro, you can save it for later usage on a file (or within your .emacs). The steps to follow in order to get this work, is (1) give a name to the macro, (2) insert it into a buffer.

M-x name-last-kbd-macro RET my-cool-macro-name

then (what I usually do), open a buffer for saving it and insert the macro into it

C-x C-f ~/my-buffer.el ;;open a new (or existing one) file.

M-x insert-kbd-macro RET my-cool-macro-name ;;insert the macro into the buffer

C-x C-s ;;save the buffer

Now, it’s time to use the saved macro. If you have saved it in your .emacs More >
