/keybind > System > Cancel Macro

It's helpful to bind this function to something so that you don't have to execute macros to cancel macros. Sidenote worth mentioning: this is one of the two ways to cancel a /mlock macro.

Thanks for the info. It is helpful since I frequently use macros that I have to stop halfway. I used to use macros assigned to the analog sticks on my controller, but they can't be used while macrolocked. Using the keybind is much faster than typing /macrocancel or /mcancel manually.

For action replacement, I intended to use a greeting macro such as "/p o/" at the start of duties to cancel a running macro. In combat, I often use /crosshotbar commands to switch XHBs, or targeting macros such as /targetenemy or /assist.

Patch 7.4 Notes

Full stacks of Lilies and the Blood Lily in full bloom will be granted to white mage upon the beginning of duties.

Since patch 7.4 rendered my macro useless, I'd like to add an update. My intention was to use a conditional wait at the start of a duty without consuming a lily. However, this is no longer possible, as a conditional wait now wastes a lily. Fortunately, since Afflatus Solace and Asylum are both learned at the same level (Lv. 52), you can replace the second line with the following:
/action "Asylum" gtoff <wait.60>
Run this macro while your mouse cursor is not on the ground: that is, while it is over the party list, a hotbar slot, or another UI element. In this way, you can still use a conditional wait without wasting Asylum.
