Key commands for ordering of actions in a macro, in km editor

I need this is because there seems to be no way to add a new action ABOVE the selected one.

This works for me to paste ABOVE the selected Action:

@b1w2

but in general, it's pretty crucial to be able to nudge actions up or down in the list. and I don't think there's any key commands for doing that,

AFAIK, that is correct. Perhaps @peternlewis could take that as a feature request to add a shortcut to MOVE a selected Action (or block of Actions), up, down, top, bottom.

@b1w2

It relies on copy/paste. "nudge up" means cut the action, press up, then "paste above" etc. that sort of thing.

Confirmed. That work's for me, but didn't really test the speed of it.

So I suppose the thing that ties this all together, is I am looking for new techniques to really get a handle on these action cells, in the keyboard maestro editor. and hopefully be able to use this knowledge for other apps as well, but the "keyboard maestro editor" app is surely one that everyone here knows, so I figured it would be good to start here.

You have some good ideas that would be great if KM provided.

I haven't really messed to much with moving Actions around, but I do make great use of MACRO: [KMFAM] Favorite Actions and Macros by @DanThomas. It allows you to make highly customized Actions and then save them in a library. You can then easily search the KMFAM library and insert the Action (or block of Actions).

I did create one macro to drag/drop objects using the keyboard. Maybe that would be of interest to you:
