simpledittoolbar.vm affects only the wiki editor.

It's not simple. You have two options:
(1) Put a button on the toolbar with something like
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WYSIWYG+Editor+Module#HAdjusttheeditorUIfromaJavaScriptExtension
then listen on click and use
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WYSIWYG+Editor+Module#HWysiwygEditor
#getSelectionRange() to access the selected text and then
#getCommandManager() to
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WYSIWYG+Editor+Module#HCommandManager
#execute the 'macroInsert' command. The complex part is to understand
the format of the command parameter. You can check
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-wysiwyg/xwiki-platform-wysiwyg-client/src/main/java/org/xwiki/gwt/wysiwyg/client/plugin/macro/MacroCall.java
.
(2) Write a plugin for the WYSIWYG editor from Java, but for this
you'll have to recompile the editor and thus you'll end up with a
custom editor, which is harder to maintain over time and may cause
upgrade headaches.
Hope this helps,
