Just added a section on Reinstalling Keyboard Maestro.
I just pointed to forum post. Should it be included directly?
I’ve removed that.
There should basically never be a case where reinstalling Keyboard Maestro is useful. The only exception would be if the app itself got corrupted, and about the only case for that would be if you had a corrupted harddisk, and reinstalling Keyboard Maestro will not be the solution to the problem.
If you have a macro that is so badly done that you cannot do anything, then restart with the shift key held down so nothing launches, launch Keyboard Maestro with all the modifiers down so the Keyboard Maestro Engine is not launched, and disable the macro. I have added this, and a comment about disabling or removing the trigger to the wiki entry.
Reinstalling Keyboard Maestro is not a useful part of the process.
OK, but just for the record:
@peternlewis, I have revised your revision to be consistent with the above style, and to provide explicit details for the user.
We have to keep in mind that the user is probably in panic mode when they are reading the troubleshooting instructions, and they may not be familiar with common shortcuts and processes, like Safe Mode.
So we need to be as explicit as possible.
