Macro Activation
Overview
In order to run (execute) a macro:
-
It can only be triggered if it is active
It can only be active if it meets all of the activation criteria, including being enabled
Activation/Deactivation is a dynamic process, automatically set by the Keyboard Maestro Engine as your Mac's environment changes in real time. The criteria for activation is set by the user in the Macro Group setup.
Definitions

Enabled means a macro is available to be triggered, if, and only if, other criteria are also met.
If a macro is disabled, or is in a disabled Macro Group, it cannot be triggered under any circumstances
