Title: Switching Between Macro Sets
Post by Deval on 01/28/04 at 00:44:31

I'm probably missing some uber shortcut here, but seeing as I am so blonde, I'll post it anyway.

Is it possible to have the numpad set so that we can change macro sets with a single key stroke? The macro sets have come in very handy for me whilst in the desert and pk'ing, but it's a hassle changing macro sets between training/fighting through the drop down menu.

For example, Deval is training like a nice little boy in the desert, out of nowhere pops a gang of bad guys. Deval wants to change his macro sets from training to fighting on his mage and cleric as quickly as possible without the hassle of going through the dropdown menu and taking his attention off his crits (cause lets face it, a moment can be your downfall in a fight these days). Realising he has his combat macros on set two, all he need do, is hit '2' on the numpad to select his combat macros and he is prepared to fight with minimal fuss, and can keep his careful eye on his crits whilst doing so.

You dig?

I don't thnik the number pad can be used, as without num lock on, it can do other things, and so may mess up on occasions.. How about:

ok I just looked at these 2 threads again and get what you mean sorry Deval. Not sure if that would be useful or would you hit it by accident?

How about if you like made f12 on all macro sets /set 2 or what ever then for each set you could have the next as f12.
That would allow you to surf through them until you get the right one at the touch of a key.

Don't take away F12 from the macro list! :(

How about right and left arrows?
