== Macros & Hotkeys ==

The purpose of macros in Ultima Online is to give you fast, reliable access to the spells, skills, and actions you use all the time. That includes things like opening doors, opening your bank, buying from NPC shops, as well as your offensive and defensive spells, potions, and other utility actions.

Macros are also highly personal. What works perfectly for one player may feel awkward for another. Use this guide as a starting point, then experiment and build a hotkey layout that fits your muscle memory and playstyle.

== Creating Macros ==

In Orion, macros can be created in two ways:

*Outside the client (using Orion’s companion window)

*Inside 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.

=== Outside the Client ===

Orion also has a companion window that launches with the client. This window allows you to:

*Configure actions to do exactly what you want

*Create and manage profiles (similar to the in-client method)

*Assign hotkeys
