Macros in VS 2022?

Filed under Uncategorized

I’ve lamented Visual Studio’s lack of built-in macro support for ages. I tried a few extensions a while back but they never quite measured up.
But I just stumbled across Text Macros for VS 2019-2022.

It’s perfect for a quick, one-off Record/playback macro, you can save macros, edit them (although that’s not ideal as the macros are saved in a rather obtuse XML format), and even assign them permanently to hotkeys.

It’s only good for text editing macros, so you can’t use it to “automate” Visual Studio itself, but I’ve yet to have a need to do that.
