Useful Macros

Hey there, in this thread we share macros (made with ctrl+D or shift+`) that make our Crawling lives easier
- Macro your number row to spell casts. E.g. 1 = Za, 2 = Zs, 3 = Zd, etc (except for '5', since that's reserved for long rest; and '0', since that's reserved for command repeats). Then '=s' adjust your main spells to the home row keys (asdfghjk) so it's easier to remember which spell goes with which number key. If you don't use Vi keys movement, also macro y = Zy, b = Zb, u = Zu and n = Zn. This gives you 12 keys to easily cast your most used spells, which should be plenty. This is a set of macros I set immediately each time I have to reinstall Crawl, and use all the time for spell casters.
- Macro number pad '+' to 'o' (autoexplore). Another one I use a lot, since I'm part of the numpad movement camp and my right hand is there 90% of the time anyway; better than reaching awkwardly over with either hand to press 'o'
- Not exactly an ingame macro, but an AutoHotKey one. This is for spamming the staff of channeling safely without getting accidently YASDed from a heavy hitting monster coming up on you suddenly doing it the manual way of holding down 'v'
. I bound this macro to numpad minus since that's only used to access the doll editor (which can be accessed through number row minus as well) though you could map it to another key if you'd like. You can look at the macro code but basically it works by using the repeat command button (numrow zero) to repeat e'v'oking the staff 100 times. This is much safer than holding down 'v' yourself since it will stop channeling as soon as any danger pops up on screen.
