Run Edit Macros from Zowe Explorer

[CexyChris]

When I am editing a member in VS Code I still need to switch to ISPF whenever I want to run an Edit Macro. These context switches are very unfortunate and for me personally they are a major showstopper for adoption of Zowe Explorer, since I will just continue editing in ISPF afterwards.

I'd like to run an Edit Macro on the Data Set or Member I am currently editing. A possible solution would be an additional option in the context menu of the DATA SETS List "Run Edit Macro...", which then prompts you for the name of the macro to be run. The resulting changes should then of course be instantly visible in the editor without further user interaction.
One would need to allocate a macro library, so either the person editing needs a TSO session and the library has to be part of a fitting concatenation or maybe configuration of Zowe could be extended to provide a concatenation of macro libraries to be allocated as needed.
The alternatives to enabling Edit Macros in Zowe Explorer are to either stick to ISPF Edit or throw away about 50 years worth of well tested, proven-to-work macros.
