Useful macros/hotkeys?
 
I looked through a number of threads regarding macros and hotkeys, but I didn't see anything specific... I'd like to see what kind of utility/clever hotkeys y'all have - not basic stuff like calling out what spell you are casting, or incoming messages, but maybe like something to help switch between camera angles, open all of your bags, heck I dunno; i'm just curious to see what people have come up with that didn't occur to me, and makes the mechanics of play a little easier.

Thanks!

Cannibalize is always in spell slot seven for me, so

/cast 7
/pause 24
/sit

helps with canni dancing. I could be misremembering the pause time though.

Oh, and /rtarget is always hotkeyed. As someone who regularly gets buff requests, it's a huge time saver, especially when you're racing to engage a raid mob.

/hidecorpse ALLBUTGROUP
/auc WTB and /auc WTS macros

Opening all bags, thats a key option: I have mine set O for open, L for close.

Macros, I'm a cleric so tend to have a lot of hotkeys for important folk, tanks, buffers etc., in any case target the person and:

/tt clarity please
/tt hp please
/tt cure me please
/tt twitch please
/tt see that mob there? hit it please

Audio alerts:
tells you
your spell has fizzled (or something like that)
target is out of range
(any item I want to buy)

I don't get out much (poopsock ftl) and the last one has allowed me to pick up stuff I need as I run through ec en route to some camp without paying attention to the spam.

How do you make audio alerts, shrt? I want some!!

Pyrocat 07-26-2010 06:17 PM

Options, ui, look for toggle audio triggers or something similar

YendorLootmonkey 07-26-2010 06:21 PM

sweet, i am gonna make an audio alert for someone shouting/oocing "group LF ranger".

unfortunately, I will never know if it works. :(

/whotarget
/guildstatus

Gives you immediate info on someone just running by. The second part will tell you their guild even if they're /anon or /role.

My first hotkey is /loc so that when I get two-shotted by some nasty mob as I am running around I can find my corpse. Obviously, it doesn't work when I get one-shotted.

Another hotkey is /corpse so I can drag my corpse to a safe location.
