    Default [WoW] Binding macro to key without using actionbar

    I'm sure there is something really obvious that I'm missing but I'd like to be able to bind a macro to a keypress without putting the icon for it on an action bar. How I'm doing things at the moment is making a macro for a buff or whatever then binding ActionBarButtonx to some convulted key press then making ISBoxer call that convulted key press with a simpler keypress which will do various things across the different characters. The reason I do it this way is so my action bar buttons are consistent across all the accounts (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-numpad for ActionBarRight2 1-9) so there is some logic when I'm planning things without having button 1 Crtl-b, button 2 Alt-y, etc.

    Anyway, some commands, like Hearthstone, I'd just like it when I press Crtl-H it simply runs a command /use Hearthstone but I can't figure out how to do this without making a macro /use Hearthstone on an action bar and calling that.

    I notice that ISBoxer has a function that when I make a new keybind instead of choosing the first option from first menu (at work atm so can't access to check exact name) I can choose second option which is along the lines of 'Create WoW Macro', so I made a command bound to 'Alt-H' that ran a macro '/use Hearthstone' (in second bottom ISBoxer form) and then bound that to an obscure key in the WoW key box in same ISBoxer form (hope you understood that) but for the life of me I can't get it to work.

    I realise I can use mods that give any number of action bars but I like to have as little clutter on screen as possible.

    I have just ordered myself a Logitech G13 so I'd like to nail this in time for that.

    Any advice appreciated.

    Two addons come to mind.

    Jamba-Macro, part of the Jamba-0.5 suite. It is very powerful - you can substitute variables/toon tags in your macros. I like it because I wrote it, a little biased here...

    Also, BindPad will do what you want:

    I use bind pad, works pretty slick. Dual-spec, profiles, test, etc.
