I often have multiple macros using the same keyboard shortcut, so that they display a palette I then can choose the individual macro from.
If I want to change this shortcut, it obviously has to be changed on all these macros. How can I do this in one go for all the macros? (I can easily select them together - but then the shortcut GUI disappears...)
I tried it and it (somewhat) works. However I had to add single key shortcuts to each macro to select it with teh keyboard in the palette.
Also, is there a way to close the palette after choosing/executing one macro? (When having the common shortcut on the macros and not on the palette the palette disappears automatically after choosing a macro.)
Another way is to make a stand-alone macro with a Prompt With List action that lists the macros, allowing you to arrow-scroll, type, or click to select the macro, then include an Execute Macro action to launch the chosen macro. Then you have only one trigger (the stand-alone macro), and you can change it at will.
@strajk Another way to search for Keyboard Maestro macros, if they have a shortcut, is KeyCue. There you can even see the shortcut assigned to them for later use.
@halloleo I can second that - KeyCue is such a useful little app to have. Really quick way to find the shortcuts in any running app including Keyboard Maestro.
That's an interesting idea. Do you have a working example you could share with us?
I don't see how to make this work, since "Execute a Macro" does NOT have an option to use a KM Variable for the Macro.
