You can create a new Macro by clicking the button. A Macro Editor window will appear and allow you to define your new Macro. The new Macro will be created in the currently selected Macro Group or the Global Macro Group if no item is selected.
You can change an entry (Macro or Macro Group) by double clicking it. You can rename an entry by clicking the button. You can delete an entry by clicking the button or pressing the Delete key.
To delete a Macro Group, you must either select it and all the enclosed macros, or close (collapse) the group and then select it.
You cannot delete, rename or modify the Global Macro Group.

This sheet allows you to enter the name of the group, choose the applications in which the group’s Macros should be active, and how the macros will be activated or displayed.
Typically a group’s macros would be active everywhere (All Applications), or it might be specific to a particular application (Only These Applications) in which case you might name the Macro Group after the application.
You can also configure the macro group to be activated only after a Hot Key press (either for a single use or toggled on and off), and whether to display the macros in a floating palette.
