Macro Examples?

What are some of your most used macros that you have programmed on your boards?

Most of my macros revolve around development and window management.

For example:
Open new file and trigger new react class snippet
Or
Move window to second monitor and full screen it

The one I use by far the most is CLEAR. I usually have it bound to Fn+Backspace.

SEND_STRING(SS_LCTRL("a") SS_TAP(X_DELETE));

Clears the entire input field. Simple and effective

I kinda really want this as a macro now. I wonder what other super simple ‘timesaver’ macros there are out there?

My favorite macro? My “KC_MAKE” macro:

This runs the make command for my keyboard, no matter which QMK powered board it is.

I also like some of my gaming macros. Some of them are a bit … salty though.

And then there are the macros that you don’t see.
