I've been trying to figure out how have a macro not register in the command history. I've scanned the boards quickly, and couldn't find anything about it, but sometimes I'm oblivious. Currently, I'm just having a macro call an alias, which works great, but it would be nice to just have a checkbox instead of a layer of obscurement.

It is much easier to fight for one's ideals than to live up to them.

Command processing is described here:

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbsubject_id=6572

Basically a macro generates replacement text that is then sent to the command processor. Thus there are no options on macros to omit from the command history. Your technique of making a macro call an alias is the current way of achieving this.
