Macros from an example HUD configuration intended for those who don't use a controller and have no need for the cross hotbars. The hotbar number(s) and slots used in the reference image are listed next to the macro name when applicable (hotbar# :: slot#).
Tip
Consider disabling "Error Messages" under Character Configuration > Log Window Settings > Log Filters > Chat Tab Name > Announcements. Otherwise some of these macros will spawn errors in the chat under certain circumstances. To avoid this while leaving "Error Messages" enabled you can prepend /merror off to all of the macros below instead.

There will always be macro errors depending on where you are. To make matters worse, several HUD macro commands have been in a broken state for 5+ years now in PvP zones. I even have this accepted bug report that never went anywhere. The only real workaround is to disable "Error Messages" in your chat log filter settings under the Announcements tab or to add
/merror offto the top of any macros that you don't want chat errors to appear for. The/hud pvpchotbar onand/hud pvpchotbar offcommands can probably be removed too since they don't work at all. Luckily, the other PvP macro commands function while on a job that has PvP skills.The
/bwcommands are for the Browsingway Dalamud plugin. If you use overlays (MopiMopi in this case) through it in conjunction with OverlayPlugin WSServer you can control it with macros. Good point about the WXHB custom settings being required too.Edit: forgot to mention that these icons are mostly just commonly used things available under
Actions & Traits > General(Aetherial Reduction / Advanced Materia Melding / Materia Extraction / Desynthesis). The one with a chocobo in it is just "Mount Roulette" using the now defunct "Flying Mount Roulette" icon (which doesn't exist anymore since all mounts can fly now). The "Auto-attack" Icon is just a placeholder since I'll be moving the Squadron Rationing Manual to that slot from the set 1 cross hotbar once Beastmaster is released in the expansion. The example image already has ROG and THM gearsets as placeholders for Viper and Pictomancer too.
