Make a Global Keybind and Macro?

[Jacktar]

Hi, in a recent thread about global badge awards and the time to log in a load of alts they mentioned a global keybind to fast quit to the Character Select page.

I cannot get the one they mentioned to work so could I get a Keybind to do that please, and is it possible to have a global Macro at all?

I am using the same macro’s on all my alts but am having to make them on every new alt so a global would be great if possible?

Thanks

The only way to do a "global" keybind is to bind a key and save it to your default keybind file, which will then apply to all new characters you create. It will not retroactively apply to characters already made unless you load the keybind file.

 

There is no way to make a global macro.

You can use a custom.window that will create a window that you can create and store macros in that is there for every toon. It is glitchy and wont always stay where you leave it but it is very handy.

There is a way to create a special custom window to store your macros instead of using trays:

 

 

To get started, create a folder called customwindows in your data/ folder, and then create a text file called custom.window in there. Make sure your text editor doesn't add ".txt" at the end or it won't work.

 

Inside custom.window, add this text:

 

Code: [select]

_____________________________

Window Macros 0 0 200 100

Open 1

End

_____________________________

"Macros" is going to be the title of the window; the other numbers are position and size (which you can then alter in game, so they don't matter much). Next time you start the game, this should be in the top left corner:

 

 

I always move mine to the right, above my insp window. It will always reset to the left when you log and you'll have to move it back.

 

 

Now you can click the "New Command" button, and that will make a new "Edit Me" button appear. Right-click it, and you can select "Edit Name" or "Edit Command" in order to customize the buttons to do whatever you want, as long as you can put it in a command.
