I created a group called Macro Template Library (thank you for the idea @Zabobon and @vincent_ardern ) in which I store template macros.
When I need to use a template macro , I go to the macro Macro Template Library Group → select a template macro → duplicate it → edit it → move the edited copy to the appropriate macro group.
I was wondering if I could write a macro to to move the final edited macro to its destined group.
It might be possible, but it's probably not worth the effort. Don't forget that you can hold down Alt as you drag, and it will make a copy. So you could alt-drag it to the new group.
You could also just save those templates using either Dan's KMFAM macros or KM10's native favorites feature. Then you wouldn’t need to click and drag anything.
that was one of the reasons behind the following post
May I ask you if you think there is any way to create a macro to write the system clipboard to a named clipboard, ideally with a 3rd step of of asking the user to input the name of the named clipboard ?
thank you Dan

I am playing around using this code by my self for quite a while now - even integrating it in Macros that use the Spotlight Search Prompt. I think that is a very funny thing...
