-===== So.  You wanna know how to do something with Keyboard Maestro? ===== 
-

- 
-Before you post a question to the forum please: 
- 
-A) Spend a little time looking through the Keyboard Maestro manual. 
- 
-B) Use search within the Keyboard Maestro Editor to try to find related actions. 
- 
-C) Spend at least 5-10 minutes searching within the forum itself and with Google. 
- 
-Even if you don't find what you're looking for you'll improve your knowledge of how to use Keyboard Maestro, and there'​s a good chance you'll ask better questions on the forum because of it.

-===== How to post a question on the Keyboard Maestro Forum =====

- 
-That seems like a no-brainer right? ​ Not so.  Posting a well thought out question with sufficient information to answer it in one go is not always as easy as it seems. 
- 
-Users tend to say something like: 
- 
-"How do I move a file to my Pictures folder?"​ 
- 
-They don't mention what app they want to do this in. 
- 
-The normal assumption would be the Finder. 
- 
-But then the questioner comes back and says it's Path Finder, or Capture One, or something else... 
- 
-Valuable time gets wasted this way — yours and the person'​s who tried to help you.
