When I add a favourite, it doesn't allow me to click in the field before saving, like you do in the gif. I'm guessing that's your own save favourite macro....?

@noisneil here is my macro for adding a favorite action (as shown in the gif above)

I've ended up using a different method anyway and have edited the macro at the top of this thread.

Thanks very much. I'll try it right away.

@noisneil I changed the icons for actions/macros. Maybe you like it.

Looks so slick how you use it. I never use palettes as I have a Stream Deck, but you're making me wanna!

Sometimes KM macro (conflict) palettes can be very helpful
Here is an example of ScreenFlow. I always have everything directly at the cursor. That saved a lot of time.

Thanks. Very kind of you to share. When I use it, it doesn't save the cursor position (in the coordinate field) like it does in your video. Weird. Also it only saves individual actions, not grouped actions. Never mind...

Really nice!

I tried them when I first got KM, but stopped when I got a Stream Deck. I can definitely see how they might be more useful in certain circumstances and you've inspired me to take a second look.

Thanks for all your suggestions!

@noisneil I adjusted your macros a bit for me.

Since I start the macros via a KM palette, after setting the favorite action, KM is minimized and the macro is paused so that I have time to look for my screenshot in the app etc.

In the following gif I saved the screenshot once in the KM macro itself and once externally in a Finder folder.

Yeah that makes sense. I have 3 screens and always have KM and the app I'm working with visible, so I don't worry about it. Your addition will probably make a lot of sense for most people.
