    Description

      The current workflow to run a macro is very unintuitive:

      1. Record Macro.
      2. Stop Recording Macro.
      3. Save Last Macro.
      4. Go to Tools -> Options... -> Environment -> Keyboard.
      5. Set a shortcut for the macro.
      6. Click "OK".
        Congratulations! You can finally use your macro!


      So what should be improved?

      • Add a submenu to Tools -> Macros to select a saved macro from.
      • Make it possible too add shortcuts in Tools -> Options... -> Text Editor -> Macros. Nobody who finally found their macros there will search for Tools -> Options... -> Environment -> Keyboard to add shortcut. At least add a link.
      • Enable renaming of macros.
