-====== What is Keyboard Maestro? ======
-FIXME -- This is just a first draft.  Needs review & input by Peter and other editors.
-  * An extremely powerful, but easy-to-use, automation/integration/prototyping tool that runs on Mac OS X
-  * Very useful for both non-programmers and power users who are uncomfortable/comfortable with almost any scripting
-  * Allows you to easily create workflows called [Macros](/manual/Macros), a list of [Actions](/manual/Macro_Actions), that can be [triggered by a wide variety of events](https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/Triggers), like
-    * hotkeys,
-    * typed string (text expansion),
-    * app startup/shutdown
-    * login
-    * Status Menu in the Apple menu bar
-    * scripts
-    * and [many, many more](https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/Triggers).
-  * For non-programmers, Macros can be easily built using drag/drop of Actions.
-  * Power users can combine the ease of drag/drop orthogonal actions with [powerful integrated scripting](/manual/Scripting) using AppleScript, JXA, Shell Scripts, JavaScript, Python, Swift Scripts, and Automator Workflows.
-  * One of the best supported Mac apps available today
-    * Extensive help is readily available in the [Keyboard Maestro Forum](https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/)
-    * The very few bugs that are found are fixed quickly
-    * Each major release has provided an incredible number of useful new features.  See [Version 7](/manual/Whats_New) for example.
