[Thorsten Haude]

Default macro should be replaces by newer, better
versions found in the Niki:

The "Fill Sel. w/Char" macro checks out fine IMO.
I don't quite know what to look for in the "Complete Word" macro, but it works well, repeated Alt+Ds giving alternative expansions.

Both macros should have a comment block saying what they do:
For Fill Sel. w/Char:

# This macro replaces each character position in
# the selection with the string typed into the dialog
# it displays.

For Complete Word:

# This macro attempts to complete the current word by
# finding another word in the same document that has
# the same prefix; repeated invocations of the macro
# (by repeated typing of its accelerator, say) cycles
# through the alternatives found.

Finally, your patch file contains an update to tags.c that shouldn't be in this file. (No big deal, but...)

I would recommend making the macro text changes to preferences.c that are in this file.

I will put in the comments... soon, probably on the weekend.

The stuff in tags.c is a simple text replacement, I figured it wouldn't be worth an own patch.<shrug/>
