G-code macros

Hello everybody!

Is there a way to create g-code macros in the firmware?
I know I can create macros with M810-M819, but I want to set it up in firmware. I also know that I can set the M810-M819 in STARTUP_COMMANDS but that is messy with a long list of g-codes for me.

I would really appreciate the help, thank you!

... yes, you can -- you have to create a new G-code in the list and corresponding methodes in the code-grouping files (some g-codes are "grouped" for better handling).

It's not this hard, if you look into the sources, how other codes were intrepreted and executed ...

Yes, that would be the best, but I'm not that experienced in C++ at this level. I found guides on how to create custom g-codes that change a pin state or move the printhead, but couldn't find one on how to call already existing g-codes.
I have some ideas that I could try, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing...
