emacs style keyboard macros in visual studio

I'd like to use emacs style keyboard macros in Visual Studio, which for the most part I can do through these shortcut mappings... but I can't figure out a keyboard shortcut to repeat the next command x times. In emacs, I could record my macro, then type

Esc, #, ctrl+x, e

where # is the number of times I want to repeat my macro. In my view, this was almost as important as the macro itself. How can achieve this in Visual Studio?

You might wanna try XKeymacs:

I have tried your sequence and it kind of worked on a simple macro. However, it was quite slow... Anyway, give it a shot.

For that functionality you have to write your own macro, but yo'll be not able to use that shortcut, only pairs are supported...
