Do explain why you want a macro, Is it for reusable code? I will provide a different solution to yours once I understand more. I did learn by reviewing the core buttons in tiddlywiki, search the shadow tiddlers, they can be simplified further.
It seems to me in this case the macro is almost as "verbose" as the button widget. Sometimes pasting a snippet is just as quick. I also tend get many of the values used from elsewhere, such as fields and variables, you will need to use the macrocall widget to do this.
