Keyboard Maestro has a very large number of actions. Each action describes what you want done. A macro includes of a sequence of actions.

See the List of Actions below, or the Keyboard Maestro Documentation for more information on actions and how to use them.

Keyboard Maestro also supports user-defined Actions, which are called “Plug In Actions”. See that link in the Documentation for details.

You may also export/import Actions to/from files. This may be useful when you have a complex Action that you have configured in a special way, that you wish to share with others, or save as a reference for yourself.

• The Export Actions command in the File menu exports the selected actions to a file that you can import later or on another Mac. You can also post the action export file on the forum or elsewhere to share it with others.
• The Import Actions command in the File menu lets you select a saved action file and imports the actions it contains into the current macro.
• Note that unlike import of Macros, import of Actions inserts the Actions in the currently selected Macro. It does NOT put these Actions into the Action List.
