Hello to all galaxies,
thought I'd spread a little love on how I have my combat settings and macros. Maybe you do this already, in that case this small guide wont help, but if you dont do this then it might. 
I'll be using TKM as the example profession here but this works for anything, just use the right commands. Also you'll want to be binding these commandstospecific keys, to do that for macros you need to go into ctrl-o, controls, keymap, custom then select the macro and hit rebind.
-----------------------------
First of all here is two important macros that I live by, and they're the first onesI put on a character.
1. clearqueue/healself
/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/healdamage self;
/healdamage self;
this will hit you with a stim straight away (if you have novice medic or higher and stims in inv) , no need to target or anything else. For jedi characters just put the right forceheal command in. I have this macro bound to ctrl-z
2. dump all
/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/dump;
/peace;
/dump;
/peace;
this is the one to use when you've finished killing the targets infront of you, or if you are in trouble and its time to run 
It will clear the queue, dump and combat macros (as you'll see further down) and make you peace out of combat. Convinent and also can be a lifesaver. I have this one bound to ctrl-x

Next up is what I see as the most useful macro there is. Its lots of commands that can all be bound to one key, the key I uses for this is the mousewheel as its always there in your hand. The 4 basic commands I put on here are:
/ui action clearCombatQueue; (can tellI like this eh )
/deathblow; (to quickly kill incapped TKMs before they force of will and slap you)
/loot; (loot all those kills)
/bo tr; (allows you to get on a shuttle quicker than having to click the ticket guy)
)/deathblow; (to quickly kill incapped TKMs before they force of will and slap you)
/loot; (loot all those kills)
/bo tr; (allows you to get on a shuttle quicker than having to click the ticket guy)
There are also other commands you can add to this key depending on your skills, these are:
/intimidate1; (brawlers should keep this on their target at ALL times)
/snipershot; (ranged deathblow for Riflemen)
/drag; (will drag an incapped friendly to you if you have the right medical skills)
/harvest meat/hide/bone (like /loot, but for animals )
/snipershot; (ranged deathblow for Riflemen)
/drag; (will drag an incapped friendly to you if you have the right medical skills)
/harvest meat/hide/bone (like /loot, but for animals
)-----------------------------
Next up is your popular combat damage moves, for TKM these will most likely be unarmed hit3, unarmed headhit and myself i'm quite keen on unarmed combo1. For these you just want to make a looped macro then stick them back into the toolbar slots, example:
macro called 'hit3'
/unarmedhit3;
/macro hit3;
/macro hit3;
Give this the same icon as the standard hit 3 and put the macro into your toolbar, now when you press the key it will spam hit3 until you hit your dump key. This also shows you why I put clearQueue in so much Make keys like this for your main damage do-ers.
Make keys like this for your main damage do-ers.-----------------------------
Finally I have several other things on single hit keys:
/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/unarmedKnockdown2;
/unarmedKnockdown2;
to stick a single /kd in amongst all the spamming, hit the key until one sticks
/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/unarmeddizzy;
/unarmedstun;
/unarmeddizzy;
/unarmedstun;
again, hit until the dizzy/stun sticks.
/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/warcry1;
/warcry1;
another essential skill for a meleer - I have this bound to ctrl-space
/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/stand;
/stand;
to get yourself on your feet asap when KD'd
/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/taunt;
/taunt;
useful for getting tough stuff into melee range, DWB mobs, Krayts etc - this I have on ctrl-w

There an option to add flavor to some commands like INTIMIDATE .. use /setintimidate Your going to die !! or /setwarcry Freeze you Slimeball .. This will make your character shout the text every time an intimidate or warcry sticks.
