Macro Tool Bar

Would it possible to have the option to double(triple, etc) stack the macros on the tool bar instead of having one long line of macros?
Absolutely +1 I got so many macros in my game that I have to constantly scroll back and forth, it's getting annoying. And I already cut quite a few of them out so it doesn't get worse. if instead of scrolling it would open a 2nd and 3rd row etc, that be awesome!
Another idea, dunno how feasible, would be a drop-down menu that activates with either a scroll-over or a mouse click. Perhaps even a scroll-over or right-click on a character sheet drops (slides over) a menu of all of their macros, or just the ones in the action bar? Macro keyboard shortcuts would also be a good idea.

What about some tabs on the bar? EG: "Tab1(open)" "Tab 2" "Tab 3" macro1a,macro1b,macro1c i open up tab 2 now looks like "Tab1" "Tab 2(open)" "Tab 3" macro2a,macro2b,macro2c

Addendum: Would it be possible to customize the text on the buttons? (Independently of the name of the macro/ability) If you put a character's ability in the bar, it's named "Character Name: Ability," which can take up a lot of space, depending on the character's name! When I've only got a single character, I've resorted to using only macros instead of abilities, but a GM can't necessarily resort to that option.
How about having the option to stack the macro quick bar vertically along the left side of the screen. The main problem with it is that the macros and abilities are usually long chains of characters arranged the long way creating a very low amount of information density. If stacked vertically more macros can be seen at once reducing the need to scroll. Only downside is it would take up more screen space so maybe make this an option in the settings tab for those who use fewer macros.
I like the idea of drop-down or mouseover scrollable macro selection windows. For GM's and PC's alike, it's pretty easy to create a very short named macro that does nothing but call a character's ability. I do this all the time, especially for shortening down "Very long, almost unpronounceable character name:attack" to just "atk" on the button text :)
This would be wonderful.

Having an options to make macros wrap would be nice.
