Custom Text Macros
Two part question, really. Part one; is there a way to make a text macro that doesn't automatically go out over the shout channel? I'm almost sure I've seen directions to do so somewhere, but can't for the life of me find them.
Part two is a little more complex; is there a way couple text macros with other hot-barred actions? For example, let's say I'm playing a barbarian named Adam (I'm not, but we can say), and Adam is about to charge into battle against a villainous, skull-faced lich. Naturally, Adam is going to rage. What I'm looking for is a way to add a little pizazz without distracting myself from the fight; say, a one-button action to rage (or cast, or whatever) and simultaneously throw out a custom catch-phrase, in this case probably something like "By the power of Greyskull, I have the Power!!!" (well, maybe not Greyskull, as it appears to be full of beholders, but you get the idea ).
Ideas?

Re: Custom Text Macros
you can change the channel that a macro is sent to by using the / key.
/talk Hello there!
will return the following in the talk channel:
"Hello there!"
As for activating abilities and combing that with text, I had always wanted to do that myself... but the closes I could come was to make 2 separate buttons... one for the chat, the other for activating the ability.

Re: Custom Text Macros
No real way to combine text macros and activating other quickslotable abilities.
But the idea does spawn an idea.........and I'll just leave it hanging on that note.

Re: Custom Text Macros
I've seen some PWs combine both text macros and non-voiced emotes.
This makes you perform an action with text stating your action.
*sits*
*bows*
*waves*
*conjures*
*vomits*
Their all different things I've seen done on other PWs that are used with text at the same time.
Mind you things like vomiting requires a custom addition to the PW, but I think you get the point.
