Confused about meow-tutor Beacon example

[ahan98]

Hi, this is a bit silly, but I'm confused about the following example in meow-tutor:

 --> 1 2 3
     [| "1" |] [| "2" |] [| "3" |]

Following the provided directions, if we move to the beginning line with -->, grab selection, then go to beginning of word, we'll get cursors over each of the numbers. I'm confused how to actually record a macro.

I've tried M-x meow-beacon-start, applying the sequence of keystrokes at point, then M-x meow-beacon-end-and-apply-macro. I've also tried just directly recording a macro while the selection is still grabbed using C-x (, but I run into an error saying that macros can only be recorded in normal or motion state, despite being in normal state.

Obviously, without meow, we could record a macro that surrounds the number with the desired characters, then repeat the macro twice for the remaining numbers, but I can't figure out the Beacon way to do it. For example, is there a way to yank/save the "thing at point" for each cursor?

I figured it out. I needed to use the keybindings for meow-beacon-start and meow-beacon-end-and-apply-macro instead of invoking the M-x versions.
