Description
Problem
When a user types / and picks a macro from the Quick Actions list, nothing tells them whether the macro can be used inside a sentence or only as a separate block. The editor uses the macro descriptor's supportsInlineMode to decide how to insert it, so the macro either lands in the line or splits the paragraph, and the user only finds out after inserting it. Today this information is only available in the macro documentation and in the macro descriptor.
Proposal
Show in the Quick Actions entry of each macro whether it supports inline mode, for example with a short label or an icon next to its name.
