In KM Preferences > Palettes, I set up all Palette Styles using the Theme Editor to show the Trigger for each action (Trigger box checked). I have set up the Macro action “Show Palette of Macros.”
Everything is working as expected, except the Triggers are not displayed in the palette. I can see the Icon and Text description of each action, but the Trigger for each action is not visible. I know I can click on an action in the palette to activate it, but I want to see the Trigger for each of the actions displayed in the palette. How do I fix this? Thanks in advance.
I found the answer. In the Editor, I selected the Group folder; selected “Shows/hides a palette when…” from the available choices in the third dropdown list. The palette now shows the triggers. Why it doesn’t work with the “Show Palette of Macros” action is puzzling. This article was helpful: https://www.imore.com/working-keyboard-maestro-palettes
You've solved a mystery that has puzzled me for SO long. I was using a "Show palette of Macros" action as well and could not for the life of me understand why I wasn't seeing triggers. Wouldn't this be a bug, @peternlewis ?
No. The Show Palette of Macros is shown as a Conflict Palette. You can configure in the appearance of this palette in the Palettes preferences, but it cannot include the trigger.
