@JMichaelTX

Feel free to create your own list of your best macros, and then add a link to it in the above group.

Hey guys, I'd like to encourage each of you to build and post your list of macros.

Two benefits:

1. Get listed on this topic
2. Get a link to your list on all of the macro topics listed in it, so users can easly find all of your macros once they have found one of them.

Example:

Gotta list my own!!

DateTime puts the full date and time. I use this all the time. The result is as follows:
Wednesday, July 6, 2016 5:40:59 PM

If I just want the date, I just delete the day and time.

Type Date and Time

This is probably too simple to bother to post. But I figure it's useful. I wanted something that, when I am on with customer service being forever handed off from one service support person to the other, I can quickly mark the date and time. Obviously the format can be adjusted by digging into the various KM commands. But for me, this painted the picture I needed. datetime.kmmacros (3.7 KB) Usage Type "datetime" and you get the date and time, in a format as follows: Sunday, October 5, 201…

Guess this is a 1 item list!

I have modified it a bit to: Create the Named Clipboard ("KM Group Action") if it does not exist Fix an issue which did not put the Group at the end of the macro when the Actions were all at the end of the macro. Author: @PeterNLewis (Ver…

How the heck I forgot about it I don't know, because I use it all the time. In fact, that may be why I forgot about it - it's second nature.

Occasionally I feel like taking a stab at redoing it so it runs slightly faster, but "better is the enemy of good enough", as someone famous once said! And this one is way more than just good enough.

Thank you!

Short, Simple, Example Macros

We have a tag named example which is used to tag those macros that are written specifically to provide an example of some feature and/or simple (partial) workflow. If you post such a macro, please tag with example

View List of Example Macros

I just added a new section for Examples.

The idea is that these example macros will help new users in getting started with some concrete, but simple examples they can quickly understand.

If you know of any macros like this that should have the example please add that tag if you can, or post the request to do so here.

Just updated OP, replacing the prior Spotlight Search with the above, since @DanThomas has depreciated the former.

Two of my favorite macros were posted today by Dan. I'm speechless for this one.

MACRO: [KMFAM] Favorite Actions and Macros v1.4 Released 2021-12-09

MACRO: [KMFAM] Favorite Actions and Macros New Version 1.4 Features: New Installer! Solves the problem of running it from the Downloads folder and having it fail. If you have a prior version of KMFAM, the new installer will also retain your hotkeys, if you changed them. Fixed all window position issues. Now uses Local and Instance variables, so it doesn't clutter up your KM variable space. The previous version had a nasty tendency to leave a large variable. Not any more! Fixed issue with not b…

This one lets you set different action based on key press length, so useful and more bang for the buck with a single keyboard shortcut.

Short Press Shortcut Do One Action, Long Press Do Something Else

Added KMFAM Favorite Actions and Macros. I don’t normally like to promote my own work, but I think this is really good, and since even Peter gave it rave reviews, I’ll toot my own horn this time.
