    Trenloe is, of course, correct. PC actions never appeared on the Combat tracker in 5e, only the NPC ones and only visible to the DM. Version 3.1.0. switched those off, but they were reinstated in 3.1.1. Sorry for any confusion.

    PS hope you had a nice lunch Trenloe.

    Out of interest - is this game you're playing in 5E or a different ruleset?

    The best answer here is "hotkeys."

    You should have your usual attacks hotkeyed for all your characters, along with anything you use a lot of. Initiative, perception, stealth if you're a stealthy type, damage-dealing cantrips, and weapon attacks/damage are all obvious ones.

    Remember you can edit your hotkey labels, just right click one, choose "edit label," backspace out all the current text, then delete and type your own label in and hit enter.

    Hotkeys are a great way of having quick access to frequently used actions.

    The big gotcha is that you need to change the hotkeys if your base action changes - they're hard coded when you drag them to the hotkey bar and don't update if the entries in the character sheet changes. Keep this in mind and remember to delete/re-add a hotkey if the base action in the character sheet changes.
