just found your channel and wanted to say thank you for this. i've been playing since the beginning but always as a casual player. i considered macros, add ons, key binding, etc. as things for raiders and pvpers. the "quality of life" caught my attention and i'm so glad i watched. there's definitely a few changes i'll be making. the whole interact option, esp with fishing, is going to be great.

One trick I’ve used for years is to change my movement keys from WASD to ESDF, basically shifting one button to the right. It opens up more buttons on the left of your movement keys but keeps you close enough to still hit SHIFT, CAPS, and such so you can still use modifiers. It takes some getting used to, but the increased functionality is wonderful.

The "MaxCamera" trick was one of the most useful things in the game. And then in Legion (I think?) it was taken away because it trivialized the grappling hook puzzles. I think it was then the middle of SL it was accidentally put back in .. and then like 2 months later they took it out. All that to say: I just tried your macro (which is the same as it's always been) and .. it doesn't work. I'm not sure what you were showcasing in the video, but when I invoke that console command, I can't zoom out any farther. Which is what I expected because, for some dumb reason, Blizzard doesn't want us to zoom out any further than the default 1.9.

As a fellow mount collector i been using a very nice macro since wrath, that lets you also random mount but since it a macro you can make seperate ones for land/flying and aquatic (since the build in random mount will always pick flying when you can fly) and even seperate them per character which is very nice if you got alot of mounts and alts and want to match mounts to certain classes The macro is /castrandom mountname, mountname, mountname Obviously you just replace the mountname with whatever mounts you like to use the only drawback to this is mounts with a , in the name itself those will brick the macro
