I deactivate the whole group instead ＞＜"
it seems dumb to do so …
I need to toggle between activate and deactivate such that check box is not an option.
It does not make sense to talk about deactivating a single macro.
A macro is active if and only if:
- It is enabled
- It’s parent macro group is enabled
- It’s parent macro group is active
Macros themselves do not have activation states, only macro groups do - macros are active when their parent macro group is active (assuming both are enabled).
You can enable and disable a macro group (eg using the Set Macro Enable action), though it's not entirely ideal (for example, it is a semi-permanent state, so it will survive restarting, and it will be synced between Macs).
Or you can create a macro group specifically for the macro.
Or you can have the macro trigger, but then do nothing (though it would still swallow the hot key keystroke, so that may be a reason this wont work for you).
yes, that's the way I guess.
thank you !
