General

ShortMacros is an addon that provides a couple of shorthand slash commands in order to reduce macro size, given the limit of 255 characters per macro.

Provided commands

Currently only two commands are implemented, but I will add more if I can think of them (or if they are suggested through the comments).

• Disable errors/sound: /de, /disable_errors
• Enable errors/sound: /ee, /enable_errors

Example

As an example, the following macro (which attempts to cast Rune Strike whenever Frost Strike is used - Rune Strike is a reactive ability only available after parry/dodge and as such might give an error), which is 143 characters:

/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/cast Rune Strike
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Show()
/cast Frost Strike

Can be shortened to:

/de
/cast Rune Strike
/ee
/cast Frost Strike

Which is 41 characters, thus saving 102 characters which can be used for other commands; not to mention these commands are easier to remember than the /script commands ;) More examples can easily be thought of.

Feedback

Comments, feedback and suggestions are appreciated. If you have any requests for other commands to be added, feel free to write ;)
