Macros with "drop down" menus

I have a macro that creates a "drop down", I choose the skill I want and roll. I got it from a friend.  Are there other macros that do the same thing, say with saves? or attacks? I have heard there is a way, as a GM, to have a macro that lets you roll all player Perception checks (for example) at the same time, so the players aren't given a heads up.   Thanks for the help!

Hi Jennifer. There are certainly ways to do all of that. It would help if you told us what system (ie D&D 5e) and what sheet (Shaped, OGL) you are using. With that information, people here will have you hooked up with macros in no time!
Wow, I'm losing my brains.  Pathfinder.  I forget Roll20 is used by many games.  Thanks so much.

I don't know the Pathfinder sheets very well, but there are a lot of people who can point you In the right direction. Are you using the official sheet or the community one?
The community one.  I like the Buff and Conditions options.

While not a drop-down query macro, the community sheet includes whispered chat menu macros for nearly all rolls needed.  Check out the "Buttons" section located directly below the Conditions and Buffs section.  If you enable the quickbar from your sidebar|collection|"Show macro quick bar?", you can drag/drop any button from the sheet(even those Buttons macros, Attacks, Skills, Defense/Saves, Abilities, Spellbooks, etc.) to the quickbar and rename/colorize them as needed. Once you do this, there isn't much of a reason to even open your sheet unless you need to edit something.   You can create global macros the call those chat menus for any selected token(given the token is linked to a sheet).  For example, if you want a global macro for Saving throws, you simply create a global macro from the sidebar|collection tab, name it "Saves" and include the name of the chat menu button for "Defense",  "%{selected|defenses}".  You can learn a button's by hovering over the button on the sheet or by dragging it to the quickbar, execute the macro, then click in chat and use the UP arrow to see the last command sent chat. Subsitute the character's name with "selected" so that you macro will work with any token you select. This method will also work for individual rolls on the sheet as well.  If you just want a global perception macro, you could use "/w gm %{selected|Perception-Check}"  or if you wanted everyone in the party, you could add multiple lines to the macro including each character's name instead of "selected". example #Party_perception /w gm %{bob|Perception-Check} /w gm %{ann|Perception-Check} /w gm %{sue|Perception-Check} .
