What are your macros?

[Raxmei]

I'm curious about how other players are using the macro/keymap feature. I do use it but I'm pretty sure I'm missing a few of the finer points myself.

ctrl-a call light
shift-Z zap rod of trap detection (this was behind my genocide problem, thank you Timo)
ctrl-z detect traps, doors, and stairs
ctrl-c cure light wounds (never falls entirely out of use)
ctrl-v orb of draining
ctrl-b bless
ctrl-h resist heat and cold
ctrl-g sense surroundings
ctrl-f identify
ctrl-d heal

Usual item inscriptions
@z1 rod of trap detection
@z2-4 varies, usually includes teleport other
@z5 rod of recall
@r1 phase door
@z0, @r0, @u0 identify
@q0 cure critical wounds
and the usual spellbook stuff

I don't have any escape macros set because I don't habitually use them. That could be part of why I'm so terrible at playing mages.

My macro list is huge. My playing history goes way back to the DOS days, and I have always liked the roguelike keyset (which reduces the number of available macro keys, particularly the SHIFT and CTRL variety), so I got used to ALT-key combos like ALT-P for phase door and ALT-T for teleport.

Years later, when I came back to Angband, I found that I retained these old macro habits. Problem is, under a normal Windows executable, ALT keys don't work, because they trigger Windows menus. At first, I could use the console version, but eventually the console versions stopped being compiled. I tried to find a free C compiler and compile my own console version but could never get it to work. Eventually, my solution was to install Linux on another drive and boot to it when I wanted to play Angband. The things we will go through to play a game we love!

I think my macro list is too long to post, especially since I have multiple lists for the different character classes. All I know is that I could never go back to playing without them.

@z6 -detection
@q1 !CCW
@q0 statgain, exp, and aug potions

x - Rest until healed
` - basic ranged attack at closest target

The only macros I have that stick for all characters are keypad + and X. The former destroys the item I'm standing on, the latter casts identify. I also bind !, @, etc. to detection and, for spellcasters, attack spells.
