Find and Replace text in macros

Questions & Suggestions

Hey Jeremy,

Not in the Keyboard Maestro Editor.

You can export the macros – do a find/replace in the XML files – and then reimport them.

TextWrangler (or BBEdit) will let you do a multi-file search/replace.

This is not simple, but it's doable.

In general macros accessing the file-system should use relative paths for portability.

So instead of:

/Users/your-user/Downloads/your-file.txt

You'd use:

~/Downloads/your-file.txt

There are Expand Tilde in Path and Abbreviate Tilde in Path filters.

The OSX Go-To pop-up menu understands $HOME-Notation paths (e.g. ~/).

Keyboard Maestro also understands that notation in fields that require a path.
