+The Status Menu shows only macros that are active and have the Status Menu trigger. The word "active" is Keyboard Maestro terminology for macros or groups that are both enabled and active in the current context, so it should be preferred to "allowed".  At the same time it should be made clear that the macros in the Status menu are not "active" in the same sense that applications are active.  In other words, these macros are not running, but are available to run in the current context when any one of the macro's triggers is engaged, or by clicking on the macro in the Status menu.
