If anyone has any help it would be really received gratefully, thank you.

I don't use Avalon, so I'm not familiar with it. Nor do I use Apple so I'm not sure on their special keys on the keyboard or key combos you could use for macros.

However, with Stormfront I change the alt-s macro to enter in:

stance

(there's a space after the word stance).

When I need to change my stance I just quickly press alt-s so it inputs "stance " and I just need to type in def/gua/adv/for/off (for whatever stance I'm in need of) and press Enter.

I use alt-s because I think that's what the Wizard FE used (been so long since I used that FE and maybe I'm just remembering wrong) and when I moved to Stormfront this was the closest thing I could do to keep stance changing easy and fast for me.

I'm not sure how useful this tidbit is for you or if you can setup something similar. Just thought I'd share to maybe help give you an idea.
