About ShortMacros
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 ;)

could those be replaced with ( example ) /rtt # and /rrm #?
Atm for heaing I use macros that all have a target block like
/cast [modifier:shift, target=focus, help] [modifier:alt, target=player] [target=mouseover, help] [target=target, help] [target=targettarget, help]
and similar with harm for shocks
if you could make that /mo help focus target targettarget or something, would be excellent!
the same as what I said to Dohram goes here :( I cannot replace general things in macro commands, only add slash commands for things that are not protected. This falls under the same category as replacing spell names with shorter names :(
You can replace modifier:shift with mod:shift though, that will save you 10 characters in the block you posted ;)
Some suggestions to shorten macros:
/pacy
/pacn
/cseq
Hope, this is possible. Would shorten some macros a lot ;-)
the same as what I said to Dohram goes here. I cannot find/replace general things in macros, I can only add slashcommands for stuff that is not protected. I know castsequence is protected, and I think petautocast things are too :( I will check this out and if they are not they will be added :)
I don't think this is possible, due to the safe actions limitation in scripts. Certain actions cannot be done by scripts but only by macros. Thus I can shorten the names of spells or even replace /cast with /c, but I can do the things this addon currently does because they are not protected.
Hope I explained that well enough, I'm not sure I understand all of it myself :)
