When I’m working with files, they are typically organized in specific folders. So when I’m in an application, and I want to save to a certain folder, I would like to open a palette with a number of folder in, and upon choosing one of them, the Save As dialog box would automatically open that folder.
Is this possible with KM?
Thanks & cheers --Mike
Someone will probably give you a KM answer, but another option might be

I also would highly recommend Default Folder X.
I use it many times a day.
When viewing an Open/Save dialog, the system enables the Command-Shift-G keyboard shortcut for allowing the user to enter the desired folder path. This can be used to create a setup with Keyboard Maestro whereby the user is prompted to select a location and that path will then be opened.
The macro below shows a palette which prompts the user to select a path. The image below shows one of the macros. The other macros within the macro group are the same, just with different paths.
Wow, thanks! Very long time Mac user (and keyboard aficionado), and I did not know the Command-Shift-G shortcut. Thanks, that’ll do the trick I think!

Nearly all the shortcuts shown under the Finder Go menu work in an Open/Save dialog. I believe the following shortcuts as shown there don’t work:
All My Files,
Desktop,
Airdrop, and
iCloud Drive (I don’t use this, so I can’t test).
In an Open/Save dialog, Command-D will switch the dialog to the Desktop.
