There is now.
Very basic though.

shift ctrl-r  record/ stop record
shift ctrl-p  play or pause/resume-record


- There is one and only one macro for the entire IDE
- It can be played in any editor (one editor at a time only)
- It can be recorded in any editor (one editor at a time only)

If the editor changes during record, then the old editor stays 
recording. No other editor can record, until finished.  (It does not 
stop recording, so the user can look at another editor)

If an editor-tab-changing command is recorded, it will be replayed. But 
the remainder of the macro keeps being played to the initial editor.
(In future such commands should not be recorded)
