Terminal commands with Keyboard Maestro without password?

This is basically complaining that the previous two attempts were not ended successfully.

(I'll spare you a rant about vim being a stupidly user-hostile default in 2025.)

I would delete the files thusly:

sudo rm /private/etc/sudoers.d/.mac.tmp.swp 

sudo rm /private/etc/sudoers.d/mac.tmp

then I would edit the file using pico:

sudo pico "/private/etc/sudoers.d/$LOGNAME"

which should look something like this:

Then paste in the two lines:

%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: chown -R mac:staff /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins

%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: chmod -R 755 /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins

so now it should look like this:

Then press CONTROL+X (not Command ⌘)

Press Y to confirm you want to save the changes

and then press Enter/Return to use the file name shown.
