Is it possible to shorten #showtooltip?

In some macros, shortening is an important part of making sure that a particularly robust macro fits.

#showtooltip at the beginning of every macro automatically sucks up 5% of it.

would it be possible to shorten the command line to #sttip, or even #stt? or is the command hardcoded into lua/whateverI’mnotaprogrammer?

there are a number of common sense changes that would be nice. i believe Elvenbane has been keeping a list

as things like /petdefensive and some modifiers still aren’t working i wouldn’t hold my breath though

possibly add to the list shuriken throw/pistolshot/poisoned knife single-macro, liek they did with sinister strike?

If you don’t need the tooltip itself (eg. you just want the icon, cooldown spinner and range feedback), and you want the first cast, you can already do #sttip or #stt or #anything, even # by itself.

#
/cast [mounted] spell1; spell2

It doesn’t help if you want to put arguments on the #, however.

while helpful, we generally do want it.
