4. A macro that change some playbacks' key profile and show information
=> To use these macro, you have to find out your custom key profile's id. In my case, "Instant" is 493461 and "Latch" is 493448.
=> I got 4 strobe playbacks and 6 very fast blink chase playbacks. I use them many times like flash or solo. But I also need them to be like normal playback button. So I made two key profile for this. "Instant" and "Latch". But when I am busy with busking show, sometimes I don't know what key profile is now. So I add another dummy chase in which legend show what key profile is now.
=> I want to improve this. For example, in "Latch" key profile, I want only one playback activate in 4 strobe playbacks. I can make it with changing 4 strobe playbacks to 4 cuelist adding release me macro to second cue. But if I do that, I can't use "Instant" key profile to the cuelists.

I can see how this might be useful if you wanted to quickly change the key profile of just one playback of any given type but I think setting the playback to use global key profile (default) and then switching the global key profile instead would be acceptable and easier in most use cases. For example two key profiles where one sets the blue key action of chases to tap and the other to swop. All chase playbacks set to global key profile will then follow the selected profile with the currently selected key profile shown in the prompt area.
