You could start with something like this:

Works also without the “While” condition. Just:

Ah. Missed that variation on the While conditions and the Window action. Both of those will work for my immediate need and most others, so thanks. For anything where I need to do something that is not included in the while conditions and window actions its no problem to resort to AppleScript, but it looks like most of what I need is included in KM (as always :-)).

If you look at my List Windows Keyboard Maestro Can See v1.1 macro you'll find some more techniques.
