    I.e hotbar #5 and #6

    /micon "Summon"
    /ac "Summon" <me>
    /hotbar copy SCH 5 SCH 1

    And other with "Summon II" and 5 is replaced with 6

    It copies the content of your hidden hotbar ( 5 and 6 for example) to the visible hotbar 1 that you have keybinded. Use for example hotbar 5 for eos' and hotbar 6 for selene's skills.
    This is really helpful especially if you have pet actions on 1 hotbar like me.

    Set the hidden hotbars as if it was the #1 hotbar.

    Yoy could use this witj CS too, but then you'd need 2 macros, as you'd want one macro to change the hotbars to attack mode, and other to change back to healing mode.

    Sorry if that's a bit hard to understand. I know that I'm mostly bad at explaining.
    First I would like to mention, I hate you. You caused me 4 hours of reconfiguring macros and hotbar layouts. Second, thanks a TON for sharing this.

    I took it a little farther though, and probably a huge bonus information to any PS4 players (and probably PC players who use a gamepad too). Turns out you can have the cross hotbar AND standard hotbars active at the same time. While at first it may seem weird and cluttered to have all your abilities on two different hotbars, considering on a controller you are probably going to use the cross hotbar only, I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet. The cross hotbar can only display 16 items at one time. Hotbars can display 12 at a time 10 times over (120 icons, if you're crazy). What do I need with 136 icons? Situational awareness.

    With SCH (and to a lesser extent WHM), I can set off crosshotbar cooldown timers on a single (or two) lines for monitoring. It lets me see the status of offGCD timers such as rouse, fey____, eye4eye, virus, aetherflow, and anything else with a long CD that you don't have room for on your main cross hotbar. Again, just more situational awareness on my abilities. That said, this is my new macro for summoning:

    /micon "Summon"
    /ac "Swiftcast" <me>
    /ac "Summon" <me> (incase swiftcast failed)
    /wait
    /ac "Summon" <me>
    /chotbar copy SCH 5(6) SCH 4
    /hotbar copy SCH 8(9) SCH 10

    The chotbar line affects my L2+R2 cross hotbar and the hotbar line affects my situational awareness line. Remember that 7-10 are vertical hotbars, so you can change it to 1-6 if you want something horizonal more. I may change it to this too.

    Happy healing!
