Macro or key bind to swap in Power?

Just wondering, is there a way to swap in a power quickly instead of having to open up the Powers window and scroll down? Maybe a key bind command?
Something like this would be useful in the Tiamat fight. When Clerics finish their spell, it would be nice to be able to easily swap in different Encounters/Daily and then to swap back when you have to go back to defending them.

Exactly the reason for so many things, and its a shame. If money wasn't the driving force behind EVERYTHING, the game would be so much better. I mean seriously, this games bringing in easily 6 figures in zen purchases a month....more than enough to pay the 5 full time employees they have dedicated to this game comfortably.
As is the way of the world though....money makes the world go around.
That said, they could easily charge 1k AD/2 Zen per switch (bazaar item or something), and people would buy it. Unfortunatley, they would put it up for 250 zen or equivalent AD< and make it useless...cause $$$. (Funny Mods cant close these types of topics anymore, because its been publicly stated now).
The problem isn't the focus on money -- the problem is the focus on IMMEDIATE monetary gain at the total expense of long-term sustainable monetary gain. They have ZERO vision beyond the next quarter.
This is a major reason many, many companies (and almost all F2P MMOs) fail after a few years.

ahh nice, this'll certainly save me a few seconds each time!
Never-the-less, I do not think there should ever be a keybind option to swap a power in and out. That's just asking for bad stuff to happen.
Instead, there should be a system in place that when you're either in Protector's Enclave or within a Campfire (not Altar), one can easily switch to a pre-set loadout via a keybind and loadout system. Switching on the fly though like that? No. That's a bit too much. If you want to switch in any other situation, swapping manually is a risk one should have to take. Otherwise, head to a Campfire or PE to reflect upon your character's knowledge and prepare thy abilities for the next battle/area.

What about fights that have different phases? Where you have to battle a lot of mobs at the same time, then battle the boss, then again mobs, then back to boss and so on. Having to manually switch between powers gets frustrating after a while, especially in long fights that have this repeated cycle of phases.
