Many of the filters are built-in Keyboard Maestro filters found in the Filter Action, but many of them go beyond that by accessing or creating popular shell filters that Keyboard Maestro does not directly support. Here's a simple example to illustrate what this macro can do. [image] The result placed into the Fil…

I'm not expecting you to download my filter macro and use it. I'm just showing that there are other interesting ways to solve your problem.
