Hey Laine,
I don't use the Status Menu much, but...
- I have a macro that opens it for type-selecting some macros I don't use often but want quick access to.
- I use the Iconaholic Loud icon so I ALWAYS know when Keyboard Maestro is running a macro.
- This has saved my bacon 2-3 times when a process was taking too long, and I realized it was doing something bad.
- In combination with a kill-switch macro.
- This has saved my bacon 2-3 times when a process was taking too long, and I realized it was doing something bad.
I ran for a while without the status menu active, but over the nearly 20 years I've been running Keyboard Maestro I've decided it's not a good idea.
