 ====== Trigger Macro by Name Action ======
 The //Trigger Macro by Name// action display a Spotlight-like window, where you trigger execution of a Macro by searching for it, and then selecting it.

+{{ action:km-7.2-trigger-macro-by-name-window.png?nolink |}}
 Like the Mac Spotlight, it will search all of your active, enabled Macros whose name or contents contain what you type.  It is a character search, so it will also find Macro names and words that contain what you type.
