Playing with a controller, I can't turn my character while casting so I often get my long cast times as a BLM interrupted. I recently found out you can follow a target by typing /ft and it will rotate your character while casting and focus on the enemy.

It'll also help on melee characters and a bard I'm guessing, as when I run away I don't face the enemy so I miss out on auto attacks.

Is there a way I can make a macro involving /ft without needing to think about using it? I tried typing /ft twice while targeted to the same enemy and it canceled it, so i can't put it on every action, and making it a button by itself to manually press every time I change targets sounds tedious
