Automating Sharing Macros or Actions to the Forum

Macro Library

Chris, super handy macro! Thanks so much for sharing. :grinning: I do have a suggested enhancement for your consideration.

I generally post macros and images as follows:

DOWNLOAD Macro File:
Hello World.kmmacros (1.4 KB)
Note: This macro was uploaded in a DISABLED state. It must be ENABLED before it can be run. If it does not trigger, the macro group might also need to be ENABLED.

Image • Hello World

Keyboard Maestro Export
Keyboard Maestro Export890×710 49 KB

If you added four (optional) variables to Menu ⇢ Share to the Keyboard Maestro Forum ⇢ Front Browser, it would save a few steps and ensure consistency. For example, if you like the format I use, the default values could be.

local_MacroAnnotation_prefix:

<mark>

local_MacroAnnotation_suffix:

</mark>
*Note: This macro was uploaded in a DISABLED state. It must be ENABLED before it can be run. If it does not trigger, the macro group might also need to be ENABLED.*

local_ImageAnnotation_prefix:

<details><summary>Image • %MacroName%</summary>

local_ImageAnnotation_suffix:



</details>

Chris, admittedly this might add a level of complexity you'd like to avoid. So maybe as one of the Forum Administrators, you'd prefer to add some hard-coded annotation. If you like that alternative idea, I would suggest embedding the image in a folding section as it makes it easier to browse forum threads.

Thanks for considering this suggestion.
