###What Is Best Way to Copy All KM Variables to Another Mac?

I now have a lot of Macros that use “permanent” KM Variables.
I need those Variables on another Mac.

Is there an easy way to do this?
Are they all in a giant plist somewhere?

Or do I have to write a macro/script to go though all Variables and save to file?

Within the KM Editor, under the Help menu is Open Preferences folder (which opens ~/Library/Application Support/Keyboard Maestro). In that folder is the file Keyboard Maestro Variables.plist.

Thanks. Just what I was looking for. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

As usual, make sure Keyboard Maestro and Keyboard Maestro Engine are not running on the target Mac.

Also, there isn’t a guarantee that the files will be up to date on the source Mac if you don’t quit Keyboard Maestro and Keyboard Maestro Engine there as well before copying the file. Some files will, some wont, it depends on the files.

Many thanks @NaOH and @peternlewis.

This worked like a charm.
I copied both my KM Variables and Named Clipboards over to my new Mac, and it took them without any issues.
