Are there any combat macro's that actually work?

The only one that kind word are the hotbar switching, and people mainly use it to switch between AOE and single, so they don't have to bind them to different key. So for example your single combo is bounded to 1-6 on Hotbar 1, you put your AOE combo on 1-6 on hotbar 7, then have a macro to swap the 2 hotbar as needed.

But macro don't really work if you want to chain combo itself.

That's wild people do that, because there's an ingame function for this already that doesn't use the macro system.

Personally I like to mess with my keybindings as little as possible, so it helps to have the macro sitting on my hotbar, where I can drag it if I want to change what button it is.

There's also the fact that those same buttons are used to target party members on my healer jobs, which don't require that hotbar switching function.

There is? /10 char

Yes,. Hotbar 1 specifically can be swapped on the fly.
The default keybind would be shift+a number to swap to that numbered hotbar. Of course this can be adjusted in the keybinds menu.

Oh those. One of the first thing I always remove on a new char is to remove those specific binding, otherwise I keep swap them on accident.

Reason is I use Shift/Control as a multiplier for normal key. So I have 1-6 and Shift 1-6 all map to actual abilities.

So throw it on alt or something, there's always options.

Nah, using a macro is just way easier

That keybind can only change one hotbar, and because of the job's action set you might have affected buttons on multiple hotbars. It rarely makes sense to put all the buttons that need to be swapped on the same one hotbar just because they are the buttons that need to be swapped. Buttons go where they make sense, then you worry about hotbar swaps. See especially: SAM.
