How to quickly edit the source macro in a execute macro action

[ronald]

Hello,

I have a gazillion macros containing a single execute macro action and frequently find myself wanting to edit the original source macro. In the case below, this means the Help BTT Gestures (Numbers List) Work in Progress macro.

What would be the quickest way to navigate to the source macro ? Using Search → Macro Name is too slow and tedious.

thanks in advance for your time and help

I use this one all the time

Go To Executed Macro [Updated 2021-01-13]

Go To Executed Macro This macro will cause the editor to jump to the Macro specified in an "Execute a Macro" Action. Import this macro, and add a trigger to it (hot key, palette, whatever). Then when editing, select an "Execute a Macro" Action, and trigger this macro. Poof! You're now at the executed macro. Update 2021-01-13: This new version from @ccstone is much faster: Go To ⇢ the Selected Execute Macro Action's ⇢ Target Macro v2.00.kmmacros (6.3 KB)
