custom chat commands #14

Hey, came here to ask for the possibility of adding custom chat commands to execute Macro Mate macros, and saw it had already been requested once before. Figured I'd second that, and also explain my primary use case for it.

I would like to have more elaborate custom emotes that require multiple lines, but still be able to run them with (custom) chat commands. Say for example a /wave, with a custom /em greeting, and then being able to run it with a custom command like say /wave1, rather than a macro.

Hi AngelaKatt :wave: thanks for your feature request.

I won't be able to support adding arbitrary commands (I.e. /wave1) as it increases the "command surface" of Macro Mate too much for what I'm willing to support. But I am looking into adding macro aliases and a /mm run command, so you would be able to do something like:

/mm run Emotes/Wave1 (using path syntax) /mm run wave1 (using an alias)

Once this feature it available you could also use simple tweaks command alias to alias /wave1 to /mm run Emotes/Wave1 which would give you the requested behavior.
