Pick for 2/22: CompressMacro (updated)

CompressMacro:

Having trouble fitting your macro into the 255 character limit? There are many aliases for slash commands that you may not be aware of, that can help you squeeze in that last spell or the final word of your trade message. Simply enter your macro text into the top window of the CompressMacro frame and a compressed version (if possible) will be shown to you underneath. It also provides a list of in-game slash commands, including those registered by addons, for your reference.

Get the most out of your macros, and check this out here.

This script eliminate the use of #showtooltip:

Lua Code:

hooksecurefunc(GameTooltip,"SetAction",function(self,action)
    local action_type,macro_id = GetActionInfo(action)
    if action_type=="macro" then
        local _,_,spell_id = GetMacroSpell(macro_id)
        if spell_id then
            GameTooltip:SetSpellByID(spell_id)
        else
            local _,link = GetMacroItem(macro_id)
            if link then
                local item_id = tonumber(link:match("item:(%d+)"))
                GameTooltip:SetItemByID(item_id)
            end
        end
        GameTooltip:Show()
    end
end)

So a macro like:

Code:

#showtooltip

/cast [@focus,harm][]Wind Shear

becomes

Code:

/cast [@focus,harm][]Wind Shear

but if you have something like this

Code:

#showtooltip Hex

/cast Nature's Swiftness

/cast Hex

you will not get benefit from it, you will still need to use the whole line.

    end
end)

You should use GameTooltip:SetHyperlink(Link) instead of GameTooltip:SetItemByID(ID). This will include suffixes and the associated stats for items that have them.
