资源说明：An extension for Visual Studio 2012-2019 that brings back support for macros in text/code editors

**THE CURRENT VERSION WORKS WITH VISUAL STUDIO 2019-2022**

For Visual Studio 2012 to 2017, please download and install this version:
https://github.com/xps/VSTextMacros/releases/download/1.12/VSTextMacros-1.12.vsix


What is it?
===============================

An extension for Visual Studio 2012-2017 that brings back support for macros in text/code editors. These macros can be used to automate repetitive text editing tasks.

You may have used such macros in previous versions of Visual Studio. Indeed, macros used to be supported and [removed][5] in Visual Studio 2010.

Although macros used to be very sophisticated at the time, letting you control almost any feature of Visual Studio, this extension only aims at supporting the text editing part of macros.

And if you have not used Visual Studio macros before, you may have used them in other text editors such as [Notepad++][1] or [Sublime Text][6]. If you have, then you already know how to use this extension.


Download
===============================

You can download the VSIX installer from the [Visual Studio Marketplace][4].


How does it work?
===============================

After installing this extension, you will find a menu called `Text Macros` in the `Tools` menu.
It will only be visible when there is an active text or code editor.
It has 3 submenus: one that toggles the recording of a macro (Start/stop recording macro), one that replays the last recorded macro (Playback macro), and another that can repeat the macro any given number of times.

So the idea is that you start recording, make some edits, stop recording, and then replay the edits.  
For example, here's what you would do if you just copied a few signatures from an interface that you have to implement:

 ![Demo][3]

You can change the shortcuts associated with the macro menus in Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard.  
Look for the following commands:

 - Tools.RecordMacro
 - Tools.PlaybackMacro
 - Tools.PlaybackMacroMultipleTimes
 - Tools.SaveMacro
 - Tools.OpenSavedMacros
 - Tools.RunSavedMacro1
 - Tools.RunSavedMacro2
 - ...


What can be recorded?
===============================

Only text editing features can be recorded, so you cannot use this extension to automate work in, say, a Windows Forms editor.

Currently, here are the commands that can be recorded:

 - Cursor movements
 - Characters that you type
 - Tabs, new lines, deletions
 - Find operations (Find Next...)
 - Some text editing commands from the Edit menu (to lowercase, to uppercase...)
 
**Known limitations:**

 - Recording copy/paste operations does not work well when the Productivity Power Tools extension is installed (more details [here][12])
