I'm Jeff-Relf.Me, in Seattle, Early 2024, born in Seattle, 1960. 

My Mouse/Keyboard Layout.

＜Sergey Vlasov's Visual Commander, Professional Edition＞
lets me assign up to 99 macros to keys/buttons[*].

[ *: Screenshot of my toolbars, Visual Studio Community 2019
  ＜Snippets.TXT, My C# macros, to automate VS_2019＞

  After making changes to my hand_crafted macros ( Snippets.TXT ),
  I copy it to the file that Visual Commander uses:
  %LOCALAPPDATA%\Sergey Vlasov\Visual Commander\1.0\Snippets.vCmd
  
  My "Open File" macros are in a "New Menu", on my toolbar.
  "File > Recent Files List" fills a similar "New Menu". ]

Also, Visual Commander comes with -essential- ( to me ) 
extensions; one hides the "Sign in" button.
 
See "Hide Menu bar and MainTitle bar" in:
  Snippets.TXT, My C# macros, to automate VS_2019.

I love having all my macros & extensions in a single text file, like that.

Visual Commander's macro editor uses the standard text/code editor,
with ＜the fonts/sizes you normally use＞[*].

[ *: For me, C# macros ( .CS files ) open as "PlainText";
  see: "Open these file types in the PlainText editor" in Win10.REG(.TXT).

  ＜My "console" (z1.HTM)＞ colorizes the '0' glyph, ＜Screenshot＞.  ]

For me, F7 starts/stops recording, F8 plays it.
The macro recorder has -many- faults; but macro 
editing/assignment matters more than keystroke recording.

For example, This toggles "Line Wrapping" On/Off:

  EnvDTE.Properties  jEd = DTE.get_Properties( "TextEditor", "C/C++" );
  EnvDTE.Property  WordWrap = jEd.Item("WordWrap");
  WordWrap.Value = !(bool)WordWrap.Value ;
  jEd.Item("VirtualSpace").Value = true ;

  For "PlainText", instead of "C/C++", use:

    EnvDTE.Properties  jEd 
      = DTE.get_Properties( "TextEditor", "PlainText" );

    EnvDTE.Property  WordWrap = jEd.Item("WordWrap");
    WordWrap.Value = !(bool)WordWrap.Value ;   
    jEd.Item("VirtualSpace").Value = true ;
    //  System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
    try { DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.StopOutlining"); } catch { }

FYI, This toggles "ShowHorizontalScrollBar" On/Off:

  EnvDTE.Property hScroll 
    = DTE.get_Properties( "TextEditor", "PlainText" )
      .Item("ShowHorizontalScrollBar");
     
  hScroll.Value = !(bool)hScroll.Value ;

EnvDTE80 bugs:

"DTE.Find.Execute()" changes your find_history/find_settings.
      
Solultion: use "DTE.Find.FindReplace()" instead.

  Put "Not Found" messages in the ＜StatusBar＞:

     DTE.StatusBar.Text = @" Not a ■⏎⏎■⏎ file." ;

＜ DTE.ItemOperations.OpenFile("C:/__/z1.HTM"); ＞
no longer works properly because the edit_tab
never gets updated when it's changed
by something outside the editor.

Solultion, use this instead:

＜ DTE.ExecuteCommand("File.OpenFile", "C:/__/z1.HTM"); ＞

This (below) no longer works because, after a "File.SaveAll",
your edit window doesn't show ExternalCommand1's changes:

  DTE.ExecuteCommand("File.SaveAll");
  DTE.ExecuteCommand("Tools.ExternalCommand1");

Use this instead:

  DTE.ExecuteCommand("File.SaveAll");
  System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);

  DTE.ExecuteCommand("Tools.ExternalCommand1");

Or just:

  DTE.ExecuteCommand("Tools.ExternalCommand1");
