Macros are a very robust feature of SS13, allowing the player to attach any verb to (almost) any key combination. The key must not already be used by the server. A list of already-used keys can be found by using the OOC > hotkeys-help verb.
 
== Macros That Are Already In ==
This is a basic list of the Macros that are built into the server.
*Crtl+Click = Quick Grab (Make sure to have an empty hand.)
*Shift+Click = Quick Examine (Marine Use/Some Alien Castes)
* 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.)
 
== Accessing Macros ==
Macros can be accessed and edited in two ways.
 
=== From the in-game client===
[[File:Macros1.png|160|Accessing macros via the title bar menu]]
* Right-click the top in-game title bar
* Select "Client"
* Select "Macros..."
 
=== From the "macros.dmf" file ===
* Browse to ''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)
 
== Creating a Macro ==
* The key used must not already be used by the server (use the ''OOC > hotkeys-help'' verb to find hotkeys already being used)
* The command must contain dashes (-) in the place of spaces
* The full verb must be used as the command. E.g. ''Spit-Weak-Neurotoxin-(75)''
* The command is NOT case-sensitive. E.g. ''spit-weak-neurotoxin-(75)'' works fine.
