Yes, it's certainly a valid point.
I use @DanThomas's KMFAM many time a day.
I personally find using the macro above with Dan's Quick Access Palette faster in terms of workflow.
I discovered something perplexing in regard to my question: the macro I posted is unreliable. Sometimes it works, other times not . If I simply replace 2 actions (View Select Macro Column and Edit Duplicate) with their corresponding keyboard shortcuts, the macros work 100% of the time.
Thank you for your suggestion.
