Placable buttons to perform macros

It would be nice if you could place macros onto the game table, this would make it easier for GMs who use lots of macros to keep track of which goes where. It's also very useful for Mentors with the Roll20 API since you could have minor triggers listen on the map. i know you can place macros in the quick bar, however this is limited by your screen width so with a 1920x1080 monitor you can have ~15 depending on your macro naming.

In the interim, I've often created tokens which tie to a character sheet on which I have abilities as token actions. Not quite the same thing, but it does give you the option to tie them to a location. There was a thread in specific use yesterday about storing messages in various parts of a token (bar1, bar1|max, name, etc). You could likely store the macros and api commands in the bar and invoke them in a standard way.

You can scroll the macro quick bar. It scrolls to the right, so you're not limited to ~15. Mouse-over the macro quick bar area and you can scroll it (on a Mac touchpad you scroll it with 2 fingers).

Did not know that, thanks
