How to tell which macro called another without running it?

I want to be able to tell from the Editor

Hi, @Unikitty

@DanThomas has created and shared this awesome macro:

MACRO: Find Macros that use Selected Sub-Macro

MACRO: Find Macros that use Selected Sub-Macro REQUIRES: OS/X 10.10 (Yosemite) or higher ###** UPDATED 2016/06/19 v2.0 ** The main logic script now uses JSON to return the results. Custom HTML Prompt changes: New styling. You can now change the width and height (see comments in the macro). The HTML Table is built dynamically in JavaScript. The code is reusable, so if it interests you, feel free to use it. Find Macros that use Selected Sub-Macro.v2.0.kmmacros (44.5 KB) [image] Many of us…

I don't think it's officially in the Keyboard Maestro documentation, but I generally use these terms:

• submacro : a macro that is called using the Execute a Macro action

• subroutine : a macro that is called using the Execute a Subroutine action

Dan's macro works for both, but for subroutines you can also use the Callers dropdown menu to view and optionally navigate to one of the macros.
