The point of macros in Ultima Online is to provide you with a quick access to all the spells, skills and function you’ll need. Functions like Opening Doors, automatically open Bank, Buy from Shops, offensive spells, defensive spells and more.
Macros are an extremely personal setup, what works for me, may not work for you. Use this guide roughly, and experiment and customize your own personal hotkey setup.
Using Orion, Macros can either be created in two ways – within the client, or outside the client.
Within the Client
Open the options menu. You can make as many profiles as you like, these carry across multiple characters. It is recommended to make a profile for each type of gameplay, for instance a profile for a miner, or trader, and a profile for a warrior or pvper.

You should then navigate to the Macros page, and create any macro you wish, selecting which key should trigger it

Examples of popular macros are listed below
Outside the Client
Orion also has a companion window that starts with the client. This also allows you to create a profile (much like the above) and configure hotkeys to do whatever you want
