Macros

[LeafHacker]

We should add back the option to trigger commands using keybinds, iirc @ZeroMemes had a fancy "advanced macros" system planned.

i would love the ability to /kill with a single key press

Might look into a lua implementation.

Proposing moving the "advanced" stuff to #629 and having this issue track a more simplified system of simply assigning keybinds to a list of chat lines (as per 3.0)

[LeafHacker]

In 4.3 it is now possible to write macros to macros.json in the following format:

[
  {
    "key": "H",
    "macro": [
      "help me!",
      ".help",
      "/help"
    ]
  },
  {
    "key": "B",
    "macro": "Goodbye!"
  }
]

There is no way to manage this in-game yet. Instead you have to exit the game, edit the file, then re-open the game. This may or may not change before in a future release (a GUI has been added in 4.5).

I removed the lua system from ClientAPI, for now we're going to stick with the chat commands for macros, and maybe create a script system in the future.

Added a GUI in 4.5, so considering this closed.

A chat command could still be added, feel free to open an new request for this.

The Add/Edit GUI could be improved by allowing lines to be rearranged or removed with buttons. Currently you can empty a text box, but it won't be removed fully until saving the macro (when empty lines get removed).

...its broken again.

This is issue is old and closed suggestion. Not a place for bugs.
Your bug report should go under #954.
Note, it is closed, and will be fixed in 4.7.
