Same macro on different home/work computer

[sudelb]

Also you could use a Switch Case Action, which allows as many Macs as you like to do different things with the same Macro:

Suggestion: Keyboard Maestro App Subfolders

Hi @Ibnabouna Nested Folders is a very interesting idea as a way of organising Macros and which Macs they run on. But one potential problem that I can see, is it might lead to having several Macros that might be very similar to each other in different folders and sub folders. All those Macros would have to be individually edited each time you make a change which could make maintaining the Macro Library more work. In my case (which I think is similar to yours in that I have a few different Macs…
