These are the latest versions of the macros I use in my layouts and feature in my videos. Most exist for convenience or to streamline actions that would otherwise feel awkward.
You may notice macro commands wrapped in green and red brackets {like this} in my videos. These are auto-translate entries; to insert one, start typing a word (e.g. "Hello" or "/lockon") and press Tab. Using these helps prevent typos. They're entirely optional and have no effect on whether the macro works.
L3 and R3
Top
Sprint
Breaks target lock-on and uses sprint. I assign this to (L3) via individual macro 98. I intentionally do not overload this with other traversal actions (such as peloton or mounts) to maintain granular control. Ensure you do not slot this into shared macro slot 98, else it will not map properly to L3.
[ Sprint ]
/lockon off
/action Sprint
/micon Sprint
Assist targeting
Breaks target lock-on and targets the current target's target. This is useful for all roles, but is especially helpful when playing a healer. I assign this to (R3) via individual macro 99. Assist targeting has no effect unless you have a target, and that target also has one. Ensure you do not slot this into shared macro slot 99, else it will not map properly to R3.

Targeting
Top
Set focus target
Sets the current target as the focus target, allowing for the Focus macro to retarget it as well as for tracking on the HUD. Use this without a target to clear the focus target.
[ Set Focus ]
/focustarget
Focus target
Breaks lock-on and targets the current focus target.
[ Focus ]
/merror off
/lockon off
/target <f>
Camera/Target Lock-on
Toggles camera lock-on, which can be particularly helpful for melee DPS classes with positional attacks. Other macros also break lock-on to avoid awkward behavior in critical combat moments.
[ Lock-on ]
/lockon
Face farget
Face your character in the direction of your current target. This can be helpful for targetless attacks that need to be aimed (such as Machinist's Flamethrower) in moments when you may not want to use full camera lock-on.
[ Face Target ]
/facetarget
Quick-target party members
For some jobs, I drop macros onto my EXHB face buttons to quickly target specific party members without reaching for the d-pad. When playing a Healer in a light party, the (default) second party member is the Tank. When playing a Tank, party member two is the Healer - and in a full party, it is the co-tank instead.
[ 2 ]
/lockon off
/target <2>
[ 3 ]
/lockon off
/target <3>
Tanks
Top
Co-tank Shirk
This macro uses Shirk on party member 2, which by default would be the co-tank in a full party. I do not use this myself, but showcase it in my videos as an option.
[ Shirk ]
/ac Shirk <2>
/micon Shirk
Red Mage
Top
Verraise spam
For Red Mage, I make one exception to my usual approach to combat macros. This macro repeatedly attempts to cast Verraise, targeting the first incapacitated party member within range. I don't rely on the macro alone, though; I keep a direct Verraise on my hotbar as well. The macro has proven useful during chaotic moments.
[ Verpanic ]
/merror off
/ac Verraise <t>
/ac Verraise <4>
/ac Verraise <5>
/ac Verraise <2>
/ac Verraise <3>
/ac Verraise <6>
/ac Verraise <7>
/ac Verraise <8>
/micon Verraise
Pets
Top
Combined Place & Heel
For jobs that have pets (more specifically for Scholar), the pet actions Place and Heel may be combined into one macro. For Heel, invoke the macro, then cancel ground targeting. For Place, complete the ground target action instead.
[ Move ]
/petaction Heel
/petaction Place
/micon Place pet
Utility
Top
Gear sets
Opens the list of gear sets. I have this slotted onto the first page of my Command Panel.
[ Gear Sets ]
/gearsets
Clear chat log
Clears the chat log. I find this especially useful when I'm using a linkshell for crafting notes and want a completely blank canvas.
[ Clear Log ]
/clearlog
Clear all signs
Clears all signs from every marked object or character.

Crafter hotbars sync
These macros copy the current job's hotbars to every crafting job. Use these when setting up crafting job hotbars for the first time. Set up one job, then execute the macros to set up the other jobs identically. Two macros are needed since each macro maxes out at 16 lines.

Swap cross hotbars left <--> right
This swaps the contents of cross hotbars 1-4 with 5-8 for the current job. I used this when I made a change to my core setup to use hotbars 5-8 for all primary job actions. The macro uses Gladiator cross hotbar 1 for temporary swap space, though any class or job with unused hotbars would be perfectly suitable.

Clear all cross hotbars
Removes all actions from all eight cross hotbars, regardless of whether they are shared or job specific. To completely clear out a job's actions, first unshare all cross hotbars, then run the macro. Alternatively, to completely clear all shared cross hotbars, first share all cross hotbars, then run the macro. The "/pvpchotbar" command can be used to perform the same actions for the PvP cross hotbars.
