How to create custom commands in VSCode?

In Emacs, I can create functions in Lisp language and place them in .emacs file. Those function will become commands that can be called from the editor or bound to keys just like any other built-in command.

Is there a way to do that in VSCode?

Note: The custom commands need to be able to call other commands. Simply using a batch file and running it as a task will not work.

A few marketplace extensions may be of interest:

However in general, you'll need to write an extension to do anything complex.

There's also a VS Code issue tracking support for built-in macros

There's Power Tools by e.GO:digital. It has support for custom commands and event triggers (ie. on file changed), among other things.
