Re: Need Some Help Figuring Out Why 'M-x insert-kbd-macro' Doesn't Work With Helm Mode For Some Reason

Hey there,

So 'F4' works as intended, I can easily just play back the macro as intended without a hitch.

The problem is calling that function manually AFTER its being recorded does literally nothing.

I will try to see if its a Helm specific problem though by using 'emacs -q'. I get a strong feeling, its related since I already bind the M-x command to the Helm specific one, so its probably eating the input or totally ignoring it.

But yeah, no error, and no message afterwards, just nothing appears in the buffer as intended even though it should be dumping the contents of the macro I created.
