GamepadMacros
Ready-made macros for controller and Steam Deck players: heal yourself, use a quest item, save and wear gear, leave a group, emotes. For WoW: Forever.
GamepadMacros adds ready-made macros for playing World of Warcraft: Forever with a controller or on a Steam Deck: things a controller makes awkward, each turned into one button for your gamepad's action bar.
The macros
| Macro | What it does |
|---|---|
| Heal Me | Heals yourself, whatever you have targeted (Holy Light, Lesser Heal or Heal, Healing Touch, Healing Wave; paladins, priests, druids and shamans) |
| Quest Item | Uses the quest item in your bags: one that starts a quest first, else a quest item you can use. GamepadMacros keeps it pointing at the right item as your bags change |
| Save Gear | Saves what you are wearing as the gear set "GamepadMacros" |
| Wear Gear | Puts that gear set back on (not in combat) |
| Leave Group | Leaves your party or raid |
| Hello, Thanks, Follow Me, Need Help | The /wave, /thank, /followme and /helpme emotes, for when there is no keyboard to type on |
All but Heal Me are account-wide General macros, so they use none of a character's 18 macro slots and every character shares them.
Using it
Type /gpm (or /gamepadmacros), or use the minimap button, which shows once you use a controller (press a button or move a stick), so it stays out of the way when you play with mouse and keyboard.
- In the Gamepad macros window, click Add on a macro, or Add all.
- Drag the macro from the window onto a slot on your gamepad's action bar (or click it once to pick it up, then click the slot).
Nothing is added until you ask. A macro you made yourself with the same name is never overwritten. If the game cannot do something (gear sets, for example), that macro says what it needs instead of being added.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/gpm |
Open the window |
/gpm add |
Add every macro you are missing |
/gpm remove |
Delete the macros GamepadMacros added (your own stay) |
/gpm button |
Minimap button on or off |
These macros were part of MacroKit 0.6; they moved here in their own addon. Ones MacroKit added are taken over.
