  Thanks for these suggestions.

  The basic idea to have arbitrary spell groups is already supported under the Custom Macros feature set. Creating a group of mount messages is possible that way, though it has some limitations I will try to address.

  You hinted at several other related ideas which are all great, but its too much to track under a single ticket, given the kind of time I get in tiny bursts to do one little enhancement at a time, so I have spread the ideas around into new tickets 53, 54, and 55.

  Capturing the vanity pet idea under the mount idea in ticket 53

  "/ss macro mount" is the appropriate solution to creating spell groups, so you're on the right track there. I have not been able to think of any more elegant design than this for creating broad spell groups that share speeches.

  I see the limitation that a spell event triggering a /ss macro event doesn't pass down its substitution variable information like its <target> and <spellname> so an enhancement there would help. (I created ticket 54 for this issue: /ss macro should inherit data)

  For mounts in particular, that is a very large group, and it's a pain to add all the mount spells to the group. Would be nice to detect mounting as a SpeakinSpell System Event, and add support for <mount>. (I created ticket 53 for this idea: System Event: Mounted, and <mount>)

  Hearth stone should be detected as an event already. Since it's an item you use, it should cause a UNIT_SPELLCAST_SENT event, which should show up in the SpeakinSpell interface as "When I cast: Hearthstone". Is that not working?

  I added ticket 55 to add <home> for hearthstone home town

  essmene posted a related comment on curse.com - capturing a copy-paste of it for reference here:

  I am trying to make a mount emote. From RPHelper 2 and similar like:

  • The instructions say "Just add water" and woha it's a <mount name>.

  So i setup a "/ss macro mount" with 'The instructions say "Just add water" and woha it's a <spellname>.'

  and in the mount spell i added '/ss macro mount'.

  However when executed the <spellname> is not the mount spell, but contains 'macro mount'.
