[Feature Request] Go to Macro in Execute a Macro

[ccstone]

Hey Folks,

Okay, let’s build upon the “Extract Keyboard Maestro action or macro plist from the clipboard” script.

Open a macro that has an Execute a Macro action in it.

Select that action.

Copy it to the Clipboard.

Run the script.

Find yourself editing the macro called by the selected Execute a Macro action.
