Menu in Chat for all API scripts and Macros

Would like to have a menu in chat come up with all my shortcuts Macros etc and API commands (!mc !xp etc) so I can click on that instead of scrolling along bottom to find them. Before I try and work it out myself has anyone done this or know a simple way to do it?


Thanks in advance for any help

What I do is create a character called Macros. On the Abilities tab of the character sheet I create most of my macros which also include api commands I use. I then create a macro for each api command I need plus macros I use for DMing. Then I create a GM Macros that will open up a chat menu for all the macros I use.

This is a 5e OGL character sheet macro I use.

/w gm &{template:npcaction} {{rname=GM Macros}} {{description=[Group Save](~Macros|Group-Save)  
[Invisibility](~Macros|Invisibility)  
[PC Perception](~Macros|PC-Perception)  
[Rolled-NPC-HP](~Macros|Rolled-NPC-HP)  
[StatBlock](~Macros|Stat-Block) 
[Conditions](~Macros|Conditions) 
[Treasure Generator](~Macros|Treasure-Generator) 
[MapSizer](~Macros|MapSizer) 
[Lights & Visions](~Macros|Lights-Visions) 
[Calendar](~Macros|Calendar-Menu) 
[XP Calculator](~Macros|XP-#Enemies)}}

[Name of Button](~CharacterSheetName|AbilityMacroName)


This is what is output into the chat window.
