Research direction
Investigate how macros are stored in Vim registers and the current VSCodeVim extension's handling of macro state. Review the discussion in issue #2380 for proposed approaches and potential challenges. Look into the VSCode extension's file system access to save/load sequences, similar to how keybindings or settings are persisted. Check if there are any existing PRs or branches attempting this feature.
