Is it possible?

I’m looking to replace the cmd+c with cmd+c , cmd+tab temporarily.

Thank you

I'm not sure I understand your text, but to answer the question:
####How do you enable or disable a particular macro?

There is a big checkmark at the top right of the macro:

####Just click on the checkmark to toggle the macro between enable/disable:

Oh sorry, my mistake, I didn’t mean it manually.

What I meant to ask is: Is there a way to create an action that disables / enables a macro?

Cheers

Hey Leonardo,

Search for “enable” in the Insert Action by Name dialog.

Question:
I'm trying to set up a system where I can toggle-disable half the macros within a Macro Group using a single macro. Here's what I've done so far:

  1. I've duplicated several macros that I want half of them to toggle enable or disable and placed the macros I want to toggle on or off in their own Macro Group.
  2. Each of the originoal macros now reference the duplicated macros with only the part I want to disable now in the macros.
  3. I created a macro that toggles the new macro group on and off as well as the individual macros.

However, even if I disable the individual macros or the entire Macro Group, the referenced macros still run when triggered.

Is there a better way to achieve this setup where I can effectively disable or enable only part of a Macro Group with another macro? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I had a similar question a while back, soithink you'll benefit from reading the thread and especially the advice given me by @peternlewis. Here's the link

Thank you for that, that thread was exactly what I was searching for. That answered so many questions and gave workarounds for what I need to do. Great to see where Peter's head is with this behavior as well. You also have a great memory to remember that post from nearly 5 years ago and be able to find it.
