The macro keys (M#) on the virtual keyboard are a useful way to help mobile players access commonly used commands. The problem I've seen come up a few times is the complaint that a player's macros are full, so they can't add anything else.

As a means to expand the number of macro buttons, I offer a few ideas.

1) Make the Shift button toggle the display of a second set of macro buttons (M9-M16)

2) Allow the arrow buttons to change macro button pages if there is no text on the chat entry textbar.

3) Replace one of the macro buttons with a function similar to Shift that replaces all of the letter buttons on the keyboard with macros. In this case, macros 1-7 would continue to be quick access macro buttons displayed at the top of the virtual keyboard.

+1! Ooo I like this idea too! Warcraft did thier main shortcut bar this way. They had two buttons on the right side to scroll through something like 10 "pages" of different programmable shortcuts with 10 slots each. I could see that being used multiple ways in VO. Maybe one players uses the different pages for different opetations like pvp or pve, while somone else could use the different pages for each different character, or both options. Good suggestion!
