<br>
Macros are a very robust feature of SS13, allowing the player to attach any verb to (almost) any key combination.
== Macros That Are Already In ==
This is a basic list of the Macros that are built into the server.
* F1 = Adminhelp
* F2 = OOC
* F3 = Say
* F4 = Me
* Ctrl + Click = Quick Grab (Make sure to have an empty hand.)
* Shift + Click = Quick Examine (Marine Use/Some Alien Castes)
* Shift + Middle Click = Point to
* Ctrl + Middle Click = Tactical Binoculars lazer target
* Shift + Click = Throwing a Hugger as Carrier or Spitting neurotoxin as a sentinel. (If you have enabled the shift click function in the alien tab.)
== Managing Macros ==
[[File:Macros1.png|thumb|Accessing macros via the title bar menu]]Macros can be accessed and edited in two ways, from the in-game client by Right-click the top in-game title bar -> Client -> Macros. The other way is editing "macros.dmf" file with a text editor. The macros.dmf is in ''C:\Users\[YOU]\Documents\BYOND\cfg'', open macros.dmf in a text editor ([http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download Notepad++] recommended, but Notepad works fine, too)
<br>
=== Creating a Macro ===
* The key used must not already be used by the client/server (See [[Macros#Unusable_keys|Unusable keys]])
* The command must contain dashes (-) in the place of spaces
* The full verb must be used as the command. E.g. ''unique-action''
* The command is NOT case-sensitive. E.g. ''Join-as-Xeno'' works fine.
