Can I record/play macros in Visual Studio 2012/2013/2015/2017/2019?
Apparently macros were dropped from Visual Studio 2012.
Is there a plugin/extension/tool that will let me record & play keyboard macros (much like the record/play temporary macro in Visual Studio 2010)?
For example, I typically would use a macro when converting code from one language to another or to quickly generate properties from a text list, etc.

We’ve heard your feedback loud and clear, and we’ve been working on a solution. We’re therefore very happy to announce that we’ve now released a version of Macros that supports both Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2013.
While we were at it, we took the opportunity to fix a couple of bugs and improved the keyboard shortcuts. We hope you enjoy it.
For more information, see the blog post here: http://aka.ms/vsmacros
We’ve also open-sourced the code under the MIT license. If you have any suggestions or contributions, feel free to create an issue or a pull request in the new GitHub repo: http://github.com/Microsoft/VS-Macros
