I make all my macros accessible via my Google Drive. For whichever macro you’re trying to download, I will have created a folder named Macro containing the file.
If you download the entire folder, it will arrive as a ZIP file. After unzipping it, you will see the Macro folder, but the macro itself will not be visible to Keyboard Maestro because it has an .xml extension. Keyboard Maestro only recognises macros that end with .kmmacros. If you did download the entire folder, it is not a problem. You just need to delete the .xml part of the file name and then it will work correctly.
If you download only the file rather than the whole folder, Google Drive will download it with the correct .kmmacros extension, and Keyboard Maestro will be able to read it without you needing to rename anything.
To import the macro into Keyboard Maestro, go to File → Import → Import Macros Safely.
Navigate to where you downloaded the macro, select it, and click open. If the macro appears slightly faded, it means it isn’t enabled. Imported macros are usually disabled by default, so simply right-click it and choose Enable Macro.
If you’re unsure whether a macro is enabled or disabled, right-clicking it will show you: if it doesn’t say Enable Macro, it will say Disable Macro.
Once the macro is installed, you can change its trigger by selecting the hotkey I assigned and pressing the key you want to use instead.
If the macro you downloaded doesn’t have a hotkey, click New Trigger → Hot Key Trigger, then press the keystroke you want to assign to the macro.
