This looks to me as if it was a bug in keyboard macro execution,
which should call functions interactively.

The docstring for interactive-p has the following paragraph:

,----[ C-h f interactive-p RET ]
| The only known proper use of `interactive-p' is in deciding whether to
| display a helpful message, or how to display it.  If you're thinking
| of using it for any other purpose, it is quite likely that you're
| making a mistake.  Think: what do you want to do when the command is
| called from a keyboard macro?
`----

The elisp reference states:

,----[ (info "(elisp)Distinguish Interactive") ]
|  -- Function: interactive-p
|      This function returns `t' if the containing function (the one
|      whose code includes the call to `interactive-p') was called in
|      direct response to user input.  This means that it was called with
|      the function `call-interactively', and that a keyboard macro is
|      not running, and that Emacs is not running in batch mode.
`----

This sounds like interactive-p is working as documented and the
excplicit check I proposed would be neccessary.

Thanks,
andreas

True enough, and I am applying your fix.

Thanks.

IIUC you may want to use called-interactively-p instead.

bug#3597: [Orgmode] 23.0.94; [PATCH] org-store-link broken within kbd macros

[Samuel Wales]

I cannot use org-remember to save all my w3m tabs using remember and
keyboard macros.

Says command rang the bell, but I don't know which even with stack trace on.

  call-last-kbd-macro(nil kmacro-loop-setup-function)
  kmacro-call-macro(nil nil)
  kmacro-end-and-call-macro(nil)
  call-interactively(kmacro-end-and-call-macro)

Is this related?

Are you using a specific remember template when remembering those 
w3m tabs?  My guess is that your remember template tries to fetch
a title or same tab-related info that isn't available for some tab.

Looks like some tab prevents the macro from being repeated correctly.  

Maybe you can try to debug this like this:

1. use several identic tabs (and see if the error occurs);
2. use two different tabs, then three, etc.

Hi Bastien,

It happens on all tabs.

          ("note" ?n      "* %? %i -- %a %U\n%i")

Thanks.

You mean on *each* tab?

Can you remember at least one tab with this template?

Can you send the full macro?

[Samuel Wales]

On each of my many emacs-w3m tabs, I can remember manually with f8 f8
n (my binding for org-remember and my ?n template which I sent).  It
grabs the title and URL perfectly.  I can also do m-right, which is my
binding for next tab.

To use the macro, I do c-x ( f8 f8 n m-right c-x ) .  To execute it I
do c-x e.  It does not get executed on any tabs.

Thanks.

My other guess would be that the macro execution is too fast for the
display engine.  Maybe the trick is to insert a command in your macro
sequence that makes sure the tab is displayed correctly before you try
to remember it.  

C-x ( f8 f8 n M-> M-< c-x )
              ^^^^^^^ <- this goes to the end and beginning of buffer

Anyway, you might have clearer/cleverer answers on help-gnu-emacs@

Hi Bastien,

Thanks for the idea.

Doesn't work.

Maybe it's an emacs bug.
