This is definitely NOT a feature. You only need the KM Editor running when you need to view/edit macros.

In order to trigger a macro, you need:

  1. The Keyboard Maestro Engine to be running (in the background)
  2. Both the Macro and its Macro Group must be enabled.
    • Normally done manually by the user, or using an Action in another macro.
  3. Both the Macro and its Macro Group must be active.
    • Usually determined by the KM Engine, but can also be set by Action in another macro
    • See Macro Activation

A few KM 8.0+ users who are running macOS High Sierra are experiencing issues where the KM Engine stops/crashes. For more info see:
