Dear Dalyoung,
Thanks! That got me up and running. Maybe this can help others (or maybe it
is well-known):
* Since January, the editor supports a global tasks.json file (if I
understood
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41046494/making-global-tasks-in-vs-code
correctly).
I updated, and indeed, that seems to work.
* I noticed that valid macros are recognized while typing, even if one has
not used them before. When one starts typing the text is non-bold, and when
it is a known macro it gets bold. That was useful.
Best regards, Mikael
