[crazy feature] Ignore spells/abilities not found yet

Hello Timo,
Not sure if this is even possible or something useful but I can see a niche for it.
I wonder if spells that are not recognized by the editor (they do not show up with syntax highlight) because the character haven't learned it yet it, can be skipped on the sequence or on any of the macro boxes.
Example of uses:
- People try to use a macro and it locks up because they forgot to put the talents right and therefore the ability called off in the macro can't be found. So the macro skips it to partially use the macro.
- Players can use the same macro of a high level character on a low level, because the spells get skipped if not found. The macro can growth with the character.
Not sure if this is the current behavior, but I have read in the past where some people have forgotten to put the right talents and the macro was not working for them because of it.
A ramification for the example 1, it could be a feature of highlighting in red the spell or a tooltip message saying that "the spell or ability is not in the spellbook check talents or lvl" something like that. Is making it a little dumb proof and probably not needed, but is a nice feedback to have when not paying attention and might of overlooked lol.
This is look but don’t touch space.
Once you are in combat GSE can do nothing to alter what it sends WoW to execute in any way. This is unfortunately Garbage in, Garbage Out.
In most cases if the player can’t cast the spell it will skip. If however it’s a castsequence the castsequence will hang. In either case by the time it’s come to execution it’s too late. Those changes needed to be dealt with in the editor and if the player didn’t, they didn’t. They just fed garbage in.

Following on the feedback is making it red. This doesn’t mean it won’t work, it just mean it’s not recognised. Wow also doesn’t give me the fine control to be able to interpret what is in the box until it is saved. Hence not being able to put up a tooltip when you hover over that red spell.
