What I want for Christmas for Keyboard Maestro

1. Ability to right-click on an "Execute Macro" action and choose "Open in new editor window". This would save a lot of time for obvious reasons.

Great idea! You can do most of that now with this great macro by @DanThomas :

MACRO: Go To Executed Macro

It should not be too hard to mod this macro to open in a new Editor Window. Just add a Select Menu Action.

2. As soon as you choose any of the "Engroup" options, KM should automatically enter rename mode so user can immediately type a name for the group without having to right-click and point to "Rename". If user doesn’t want to give it a name, they will simply press enter.

Another good idea, but I'm not sure how many users would want to automatically rename the Group Action. I usually do, but I'm not sure it should be the default behavior.

My suggestion would be for KM to add a shortcut key to rename any Action.

I'm sure you could write a macro/script to do this.

3. A new set of coloring features for actions: I envision the ability for user to create a color palette with their own set of colors.

Not a bad idea, but I'm not sure how many users would really want/use this.

Meanwhile, you can achieve this by creating your own custom Actions, and saving them to a "database" known as KMFAM. Another great macro by @DanThomas:

MACRO: [KMFAM] Favorite Actions and Macros

While this meets your request, it goes much further. Being able to fully customize any Action (even multiple versions of same Action) and quickly find and insert it is very powerful.
