Ever want to do that Superman to Clark Kent quick change?
The way you do this is using key-binds. You type the following strings into your chat box:
/bind y "+PowerTrayExec 14 $$ setactivecostume 0 0"
/bind t "+PowerTrayExec 14 $$ setactivecostume 0 1"
T to take off flying as your super and Y to land as your disguise...
or you can save these as alias commands to use just one key to toggle.
/alias land "+PowerTrayExec 14 $$ setactivecostume 0 1 $$ bind f fly"
/alias fly "+PowerTrayExec 14 $$ setactivecostume 0 0 $$ bind f land"
/bind f fly
There is a "warm up" period so you need to wait a few seconds before changing again. Your first costume slot is "0 0" the second is "0 1" and continue "0 2", etc.
Alias commands do everything at once the $$ mean "and" so you can string multiple commands together. However making the character doing an emote before using the travel power is impossible. The string would attempt to activate both and only one command would happen.
Have fun using this and I will add more handy keybinds as I find them.

My two most common used powers are LMB and RMB pressed, everything is consolidated mainly because of my little fingers.

/gensendmessage MineSweeper_Root show
However on my keyboard interface I added;
/bind F5 gensendmessage Hud_Minimap_Socratesbutton activate
The creates a shortcut to the Crime Computer, I am sure there are other hidden treasures to be found.
Also please note this also works the same as above;
/bind F5 genbuttonclick Hud_Minimap_Socratesbutton

| 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 15 |
| 16 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 14 |
16 = Block
0 = Auto-attack
1-6 = remainder of bottom bar of display
7-13 = top bar of display (alt keys)
14 & 15 = Travel powers
*it is important to remember that the Powertray numbers do not match the number keys unless you bind them to match.
Similarly, Devices are numbered 0-4 (corresponding with slots ctrl+1-5)
I essentially play the game with my left hand and use my right hand to move the camera around, select targets, and very rarely to fire a power or device in a way I don't normally do. I remapped the first three buttons of the alt-tray bar to 'q,' 'e,' and 'r' because that matches another game I play. 'a' and 'd' become turn left and turn right and 'ctrl+a' and 'ctrl+d' become strafe left and right. '1' (Powertray slot 0) stays slotted as the auto-attack as that allows you to turn it off if needed. '2' is where I slot my Ultimate, but any attack/heal could be slotted there. '3' is normally an AOE maintain for me. '4' and '5' are for Active Defense/self-heals. My keybinds, which I also set to alias, and then have a separate alias/key bind import option using a .txt file in my localdata folder (this is useful if you have multiple toons and want the same set up on each of them), are as follows:
Primary Attack /bind q "DefaultAutoAttack 1 $$ PowerTrayExec 1 7"
-this fires my primary attack to full maintain; limited by Energy, and toggles on auto-attack.
Secondary Attack /bind e "DefaultAutoAttack 1 $$ PowerTrayExec 1 8"
-same as my primary, but a less-used attack
Tertiary Attack /bind r "DefaultAutoAttack 1 $$ PowerTrayExec 1 9"
-I normally slot my lunge here if a melee toon, but any attack/heal would work (you'll likely want to bind in targeting option like target's target for a heal, with ctrl as an option to fire the damaging version or vice versa)
AOE Attack /bind 3 "DefaultAutoAttack 1 $$ PowerTrayExec 1 2"
-activate and fully maintains my AOE attack; limited by Energy.
Buff Form /bind n PowerTrayExec 1 13
-fully charges buff form following a recovery, though it may get interrupted if another resser bumps you as you are charging; will also turn off your buff form so only press it once (switching the bind to 'ctrl+n' will make it less likely to accidentally deactivate). Replace 13 with wherever you have your buff form slotted.
Active Offense Fire /bind z "+PowerTrayExec 10 $$ +PowerTrayExec 11 $$ +PowerTrayExec 12 $$ +InventoryExec Devices 0" -this will fire whichever Active Offense is not on cooldown, though you may have to press it multiple times to get the device to fire as well. You can trim this if you have less Active Offenses. I have a device slotted in Devices 0 that I fire in conjunction; remove if you don't.
Shield On /bind SHIFT PowerTrayExec 1 16
-turns your Block into a Toggle.
Shield Off /bind v PowersCancelAllActivations
-will turn off your Block, can also be used to display weapons out of combat by interrupting a charge attack. Can also be used to interrupt any of your charge/maintain powers if you need to do something else or want to conserve Energy.
Darkspeed On /bind b +InventoryExec Devices 3
-this will fully charge a travel device and can be fired while moving, which is useful when you are running back after a recovery.
Device Activation /bind ctrl+b InventoryExec 1 Devices 1
-this fires a device that has a charge activation (I have several) that is used situationally (e.g., RenCen teleporter).
Other useful binds:
/bind F1 "target "Shadow Portal" $$ target "Shadow Crystal" $$ target "Enervating Crystal""
-if you do Eidolon, you should have this mapped.
/bind F9 "startchatwith /channelsend "Zone" "
/bind F10 "startchatwith /channelsend "Cosmic_HQ" "
/bind F11 "startchatwith /channelsend "Local" "
Options for Turn-off Auto-Attack, Target Teammate/target self, activate heal:
/bind "+down1 $$ TargetTeammate 1/target_self $$ +PowerTrayExec
down1 will stop auto-attack
OR
/bind "+down1$$target_self$$+Power_Exec Celestial_Conduit_Combo_R3$$target_clear"
Power_Exec allows use of power names, but must include Rank identifier.
How do I say something as I use a power?
/bind " $$ +PowerTrayExec
-Avoid spam by limiting this to a more localized channel like party.
How do I say something as I use a power?
/bind [key] "[insert channel] [insert text] $$ +PowerTrayExec [slot #]"
This works for Neverwinter and Star Trek, but not here. It seems to access the Champion's Auction you MUST be in the market at Millennium City.
This will make the window open anywhere, but it has no search or posting ability.

/bind [Key] ++walk
And the ever commonly requested ability to hold weapons out. With this, you need to press the key during the Activate Time of the power. Generally as the weapon comes up, but before the power is considered Activated. This is also useful for force-canceling powers that get stuck being active.
/bind [Key] PowersCancelAllActivations

You could simply hit F1 and that will select you. And/or you can disable assist player target (or something like that) and it wouldn't target anyone again unless you select them.
/bind [key] Target_Self $$ PowerTrayExec 1 [##]
Of course the ## is going to be where you have your "Bionic Shielding" placed in your powers tray.
Top row is 7 to 13, bottom row is 0 to 6, 14 and 15 are travel powers, and 16 is block.
Note: A macro working all by itself (checking for your health to fall below a certain percentage) would be impossible with any key bind or current game commands. I am pretty sure everyone knows making or using external macros is against the "terms of service" in almost every online game.
If you play in Alert teams you could use this for quick targeting members for healing;
/bind [key] Target_Teammate [#] $$ PowerTrayExec 1 [##]
Where the # represents the team member on the list. You would need 4 keys to identify each team member.
Example;
/bind F1 Target_Self $$ PowerTrayExec 1 7
/bind F2 Target_Teammate 1 $$ PowerTrayExec 1 7
/bind F3 Target_Teammate 2 $$ PowerTrayExec 1 7
/bind F4 Target_Teammate 3 $$ PowerTrayExec 1 7
/bind F5 Target_Teammate 4 $$ PowerTrayExec 1 7
What I am unsure of is the numbers of the teammates above are they 0 to 3 or 1 to 4?? But you do need to form a team for that to work.

No in-game command allows for this.
