Just a tip on macroes, there are plenty of keys you can use that are "handily" placed (I keep F1-onwards copies of the attack spell macroes):
x - this is my "spam attack" key, at start magic missile, eventually fire bolt / acid bolt, I also macro in target nearest in this so it's just "xxxxxxxx all dead next room"
h - if you play without ranged weapon (wands + spells only), this is usually my "big hitter", so frost/fire/acid bolt early on and meteors later on
X - area attack spell, stinking cloud early, cloudkill later
^D, ^F, ^G - detect spells
Z - haste
H, J - resistance and shield
^I - identify
etc., just check the key mappings and use those unused ones (or useless ones) to avoid moving your fingers always to the F-keys. Makes playing a mage ten times faster. =P
