Macro for Player sheet to use attack

Hello, I am currently adding Macros to my player character, and I am facing troubles when I try to use his weapons / attacks. I know that I can I drag it down so it appears as a Macro, and this is working fine for me, but I would like to code it as an ability so I can make it a bit more fancy and add e.g. a /me uses his shortsword before that this text comes first. For saving throws thats easy, I just use this code : /me is a master in using his fingers %{selected|npc_sleight_of_hand} But I can't find the command to use it for my attack actions (On slot one I have my shortsowrd, slot two my shortbow etc.) Can anybody help me with this? Thanks

The easiest way to do this is to drag the button to the bottom of the sheet so that it gets put on your quick macro bar.  The button on the quick macro bar is going to be using the syntax you are after.  Roll the attack from the quick macro bar, then put your cursor in the chat window and press the up arrow to get the last command sent to chat.  Copy/paste that to your ability macro, and remove the button you just used from the quick macro bar. That should get you what you need to add your emote in front of it.

This would be indeed the easiest way if I can just see the syntax and copy past it, however I cannot see what you mean with the "up arrow"? If i hover over it just tells me the how the number is calculated.

When I say put your cursor in the chat pane, I don't mean hover.  I mean you need to have the cursor visible in the chat window where you can type in commands.

If i hover over it just tells me the how the number is calculated. You need to left-click with your cursor in the chat input box, then press the "up" arrow on your keyboard. (Honest, I'm not being snarky with the screenshots - I'm assuming there might be aa language barrier)   

Thank you so much to both of you guys! :) The screenshots were super helpful, keep it up! It works perfect now.
