There's a longer thread about crafting macros over at Vanguard Crafters, which I recommend to the uninitiated reader.
In the situation the poster describes, it may work correctly (step/action reversed, have to check the UI), but there's more to it. Just to avoid a possible misunderstanding, I'll explain HOW it works.
/...step selects a button within the crafting windows, while
/...action selects a button that appears /below/ the crafting window, /after/ you selected a 'step'
Step number is always counted in icons within the crafting window, so for basic recipes, 1 gets the material, 4 is the bolting/polishing/whatever final step. Later recipes continue to have 4 stages, but more steps, so that the final stage becomes step 5 or 6.
A more general set of macros like the above is actually very useful:
Have up to 8 buttons with macros named <N>, but commands in /reversed/ order:
/...action <N>
/...step <N>
Now, what do these do? At first it looks like they trigger an action within a certain step, but, wrong, this is not how the UI works.
- The first line, an action command, does nothing, because no step is selected.
- The second line selects a step, opening a variety of actions
- On a /second/ key stroke, the action command executes, while this time, the /...step command fails (there's a technical reason, but it doesn't matter here)
So basically you can select a step and then an action, using the /same/ hotkeys.
Still BE CAREFUL with these macros: 'I need to do step 2 now (type 2), no, I wanted step 3 first (type 3)' - harm done.
