Macro recording

[fabiopicchi]

It would be nice to be able to record a sequence of inputs and then reproduce it as in Notepad++ or Vim.

This feature plus dired mode and vscode could compete with emacs.

Major help when refactoring to have a recordable macro for repetitive edits.

I'd love to see this, but one step further as in EditPlus, where multiple different macros can be recorded and assigned to different hotkeys. Makes it EXTREMELY nice to have common repetitive tasks assigned semi-permanently.

+1 It would be great

JEdit has a great macro implementation. It captures not only keyboard commands, but actions from menus as well. A script is created that you can then also save or modify.

VSCode missing macros is the only reason I still have Sublime. I do repetitive editing by recording then playing back macros almost daily.

By the way, would love to be able to record a macro and then assign it to a keybinding. Visual Studio could do this in the 90's and it was great!

I wrote an extension that makes writing custom macros easy. Don't have recording yet, but it's still pretty convenient.
