Evidence that Macros Do NOT Cause GCD Delay or Lost Casts

[PommesFrites]

I am very appreciative of this thread @Lilimo! Especially considering Japanese players have no aversion to macros, I was surprised to learn how anti-macro NA appears to be, and how little knowledge about them exists in the English-speaking corners of the web aside from "bad, do not use". I also suffer severe hand health issues from decades of being a software developer and general computer junkie, so I am always on the lookout for ways to make the play experience more comfortable for me. I had a suspicion macros might be able to help, and I'm glad to see someone else of like mind take the charge! Digging through the thread and using some of the knowledge shared I've already found a way to make an Umbral Soul/Transpose macro that seems to work just peachy. I wanted to ask specifically what BLM macros you make frequent use of to save hotbar space? I am a controller user and I use the XHB in toggle mode; the WXHB is a secret hand-killer, so I wouldn't use it even if I could, and since I use the XHB in toggle mode I can't use the extended XHB, either. I would really love to be able to fit all of my job actions on a single "main" XHB (even if it uses magic like in the Dragoon example to switch them around behind the scenes) so I don't need to fuss around with switching them myself, and I would only have to tap L or R at any point to access my whole kit.
