Typed string pop-up not updating with new entries

Questions & Suggestions
1

I am finding today that when I add more macros with more text options, they are not showing up in the yellow popup.

Can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong?

Thanks, Gregg

So, the gold palette is the Conflict Palette for all of the macros that have the same Typed String Trigger, correct?

If so, I am unable to reproduce your issue.
Of course, please double-check that each macro has the EXACT same trigger, and is ENABLED.

This should not be necessary, but you could try restarting the KM Engine.

@JMichaelTX had some good advice.

The engine should see any changes more or less immediately (within a second or so).

If it is not, that is a concern. It may indicate the macros are not being saved (quite and relaunch the Keyboard Maestro editor to verify that they are), or that the editor cannot communicate with the engine.

I have seen occurrences of the latter that look like the inter-application communication system on the Mac has stopped working. Restarting would presumably fix this.

Thank you JMichaelTX and Peter! A reboot fixed it…
