how do I put a space in a macro...if I have made a macro of a command such as... greet... the cursor is stuck to the end of the word. How do I have it look like... greet (space) cursor? I have tried ^ and ; and the ^ shows in the game screen unless I write it like (^)...can someone help a perennial dummy?

I think you can just put a space at the end of it

I think you want to do is Macro chaining. Look at Introduction to Macros in the help.

Not really sure that you mean, but have you tried putting a tilde(~) before the space?

What exactly do the commands in your macro do? Macros are single word commands that can execute multiple commands and/or complex commands, but the macro itself is limited to 1 word.

Just as a simple example, since you haven't told us what you're trying to do, let's say our macro is bow and we want it to send an emote that has the name of the person we're bowing to sent to the game. In the value area, you'd put "emote bows to %1 and gives a mocking tip of his cap." (without the " marks). To use the macro, you could type "bow Jim" and it would send to the game "emote bows to Jim and gives a mocking tip of his cap."

Hope this helps. If not, please let us know what you're wanting the macro to do.

Macros are keys. You've just described an alias, Troublemag.

You can add a space into your macro like you want by either quoting the space with the tilda ~ or using %char(32) where you want the space.
