WorkFeature not showing in Combo view

Hey, I'm new here and to FreeCAD, I still have hard time to understand its interface and tools (I come from OpenSCAD which is more straight forward). So the thing is that I cant see any of WorkFeatures tools anywhere.

I'm on Windows 10 with Python 3.7.0, FreeCAD 0.18, last numpy version and tried to install WorkFeature macros through the add-on manager. Installation seems good (all the files are in /Roaming/FreeCAD/Mod/ as intended), asks me to restart FreeCAD, but then no way to find how to "activate" it, as said in the documentation, so I cannot see the WorkFeature in the combo view, whatever woksbench I choose. The console shows Gui.activateWorkbench('SketcherWorkbench') with no error. Am I missing something ?

The Workbench version seems to work but I prefer the tab version in combo view.

EDIT: I eventually got the WorkFeature tab appearing by pasting the content of workfeature-macro (originally downloaded into the /mod folder by the addon manager) into the /macro folder, then running the macro now appearing in the macro window (both .FCMacro and .py appear and work). I guess the problem comes from the fact that workfeature-macro is available in the Workbenches tab of the addon manager rather than on the Macro tab. Now I still have to figure out how to run the macro automatically after Freecad loads, and read more about the underlying logics of FreeCad to understand why I cannot use the point-to-the-middle-of-a-segment in the drawing workbench :)

Thanks for your work !
