Target a Player or NPC by Name

Targets the named unit if it is in range. Ops leaders bind a line per healer so they can find a specific person during a fight without clicking the raid frames.

Where to paste this

Press Enter to open chat and type the command with its leading slash.
Use Preferences → Key Bindings to bind quickbar slots — a good bar layout removes most of the reason to want macros.
Save recurring call-outs as chat tab presets so you are one click away from them.
Combine /target with /stopattack and emotes to build the pull and marking routines groups actually need.

Assist Your Target
General
```
/target Tank Name
/assist
```
Picks up whatever your current target is attacking. Pair it with /target to build a two-line focus routine: target the tank, then assist them onto the right add.
Create a Private Chat Channel
General
```
/create RaidTeam secretword
```
Creates a custom channel with an optional password. Cross-guild raid teams live in these, because they persist across guilds and operations groups.
Custom Emote
General
```
/e checks the charge on their blaster.
```
Prints a free-form third-person emote. /e and /me are aliases, and it is the only way to say something that reads as an action rather than speech.
Find Players by Name or Class
General
```
/who Armormech
```
Searches for online players. You can filter by class, level range or planet, which makes it the fastest way to find a crafter for a schematic you need.
Follow a Player
General
```
/follow
```
Auto-follows your current target until you move. Useful for long travel sections in flashpoints and for staying inside a group stack during a mechanic.
General, PvP and Trade Channels
General
```
/1 Looking for a Biochem crafter
/3 WTS Mandalorian Iron, PST
```
The numbered channels are region-wide: /1 is General, /2 is PvP and /3 is Trade. Most server economies still run through /3 rather than the auction house alone.
Group Chat Call-Out
General
```
/p Pulling in 3
```
Posts to your four-player group. The short form is /p, which is worth the muscle memory in a flashpoint.
Ignore a Player
General
```
/ignore Character Name
```
Blocks whispers and chat from a player. The ignore list is per-character rather than account-wide, which catches people out.
