I know not too many people know about what you can do with macros and binds, so here are some examples. A macro creates a named icon on your icon bar whereas a bind attaches commands directly to a key. I'll just give simple examples; you can work the rest out.

Some symbolic thingies used in macros/binds:
$$ is used to seperate commands to be performed.
$target resolves to the object you have selected.
$level resolves to your toon's level.

Heckle the spandex-men:
/macro heckle "emote point$$You stupid $target! Get your head out of your ass!"

Change the default ready message:
/bind f7 "emote angry$$say Ready for anything, not like you lazy monkeys!"

Bubble over your head while typing (where message is what you would like shown):
/bind enter "afk message$$startchat"

Ask someone if they'd like to join your team (if selected in /who list):
/macro inv "tell $target, Hey, want to join a team? I'm level $level."

The Teleport power is a little fiddly to use, so someone came up with this simple bind to make it easier:

/bind LSHIFT+LBUTTON "powexec_name Teleport"

So, when you want to teleport, just hold down left-shift and click the left-mouse-button where you want to teleport to.

I use this one and it really made a difference to Yuri's teleportation - particularly, he fell out of the sky a LOT less when I started using it.

Think this works as a text bubble command, you know the thing that comes up with your speech.

/bind enter "<b colour><bo colour><text colour>$$startchat"

Now basically b stands for bubble, bo stands for bubble outline and well text is text Very Happy

. colour is where you input the colour of your choice, black, red, blue whatever you want. Try mixing it around to get the bubble you want!
