So far I haven’t found any.

Either the Angband macro, or DF macro, can help with the extensive item interaction.

I don’t think there’s true macros in the game, but there is the Execute Action menu under the ‘%’ button.

Although it’s a list of what you can do, ‘%’ requires as many key presses as simply 'a’pply, and cannot repeat.

I want to macro the ‘elyEnterEnterl’ rubble clearing process.

So I got a macro maker called autohotkey, and created a ‘khkhkhkh’ macro to test, but it seemed that only the last letter ‘h’ was actually input. And I set the delay 50 milisec, but that did not work.

GREAT! How do you use it? Could you share any script?

That’s how Urist finishes a 10x10 designation of rubble clearing.
