Notepad++ macro in menu bar with icon

I'm looking for a way to add a macro as an icon in the toolbar.

It seems possible to bind keys to the macro, customize the toolbar with Customize Toolbar and use toolbarIcons.xml to customize it. But none of those options provide an option to add a recorded macro as an icon to the toolbar in Notepad++.

Any suggestions?

  1. Install CustomizeToolbar plugin (you can find it here on Sourceforge)
  2. Restart notepad++

  3. Enable custom buttons checking Plugin/Customize Toolbar/Custom Buttons:
