Record text inserted by IntelliSense

When using the IntelliSense auto-completion, the text that is inserted automatically (i.e. not typed) isn't recorded/replayed.

Running VS 2013 with Update 4, even if I type over the IntelliSense inserted text, it is not recorded. Any ideas? I'm happy to contribute to the project, very surprising VS doesn't offer a good macro capability out of the box. Macros are very handy for mundane editing tasks that come and go. Thank you for the add-in!

Hm, is this fixed? I can record typing the first characters of a type, then pressing Enter to select the one suggested in the dropdown box, and everything is played back nicely. (VS 2015 u3)
