    Suggestion: <placedholder> for current job/class abbreviation

    This is mostly for using "/hotbar copy" across classes. I'd like a placeholder, like <jobabbrev> (or something) that gives the current class/job's abbreviation (e.g., MIN for miner, MNK for monk).

    Right now, I have hotbars 1, 2, and 3 for PvE, and 4, 5, and 6 for PvP. I have /hotbar copy macros to swap those back and forth, using unused hotbars as a swap space. If I want to have the same setup on several jobs, I have to create the exact same macro for each job, with only the job abbreviation replaced:
    Code:
    /hotbar copy MNK 1 share 7
    /hotbar copy MNK 4 MNK 1
    /hotbar copy share 7 MNK 4
    /hotbar copy MNK 2 share 7
    /hotbar copy MNK 5 MNK 2
    /hotbar copy share 7 MNK 5
    /hotbar copy MNK 3 share 7
    /hotbar copy MNK 6 MNK 3
    /hotbar copy share 7 MNK 6
    I'd rather be able to use the same macro for any job I want to do this with:
    Code:
    /hotbar copy <jobabbrev> 1 share 7
    /hotbar copy <jobabbrev> 4 <jobabbrev> 1
    /hotbar copy share 7 <jobabbrev> 4
    /hotbar copy <jobabbrev> 2 share 7
    /hotbar copy <jobabbrev> 5 <jobabbrev> 2
    /hotbar copy share 7 <jobabbrev> 5
    /hotbar copy <jobabbrev> 3 share 7
    /hotbar copy <jobabbrev> 6<jobabbrev> 3
    /hotbar copy share 7 <jobabbrev> 6

    10 posts per page is only the default setting; it is bad, and you should feel bad if you haven't changed it.
