2024 DnD character sheet macros for specific skills/saves/ initiative

I have been running a 2014 game for about three years and i'm about to start a new game moving up to the 2024 rules.  However I'm having a couple issues. one of my players is handicapped and has a hard time searching all over his character sheet for different skills, saves, and actions.  He also has trouble navigating drop downs with long lists of options (like skill list drop downs).  As a result I created buttons on from the 2014 sheet that were used for his most common actions.  These buttons proved very useful to him, and helped keep the gameplay moving.   On the 2014 sheet i simple grabbed the action i wanted to make a button of and dragged it to off the character sheet and it created the button for me.  On the 2024 sheet i found how i can add actions to the macro list, but i can't figure out how to add specific skills, saves, or even the initiative roll. I don't want a skills button that brings up a list of skills for the character to choose from.  I want a Perception check Button.  Or an Investigation Button.  And I definitely need an Initiative button. I'm perfectly capable of just creating a macro that rolls and adds the applicable bonuses, but i want the same format and output style as the character sheet. also the old trick of making the roll and pushing the up button in the chat box to see the code behind the previous roll doesn't work on the new character sheet.  at least not for skills, saves, or initiative. Thanks for the help/advice Jeff

Hi Jeff J.,  The D&D 5e 2024 sheet has some issues compared to the 2014 sheet for things like macros.  Personally I still use the 2014 sheet for the 2024 games. It requires a bit more work but it is quite doable.  If you'd like, contact me on Roll20's Discord server (I am Gauss, near the top in the Champion of Roll20 section) and we can go over your player's needs and how best to meet them on either the 2024 or 2014 sheet.
