Is There a Way to Just Cancel the Last Triggered Macro?

That is what You can cancel all running macros by holding all the modifiers (Control, Option, Shift and optionally Command) and clicking on the Keyboard Maestro Status Menu Icon. is for.

I guess you missed this part:

@JMichaelTX

I know we can cancel ALL macros with a hotkey, but when something wrong is happening, and you want to just cancel the last macro

@peternlewis

What hot key would I use?

Well, you could do like many, many other apps (BBEdit comes to mind), and allow the user to set these type shortcuts in the app preferences.

BBEdit

Script Debugger

Evernote

Even Evernote gives us some control, and they hate preferences almost as much as you do.

If Evernote can figure this out, it must be easy.

Or, all else failing, if you could fix the status menu so that it does not have a delay, then we could script it ourselves.

Of course, you could make KM Actions for these (cancel last macro prior to this one) and let use assign whatever hotkey we want.

Many, many ways to skin this cat.
