The step component lets you create defined procedures with more structure than ordered lists. Use step when you have a large procedure that would benefit from dedicated space ordered lists don't offer.
Syntax
There are three things to note when using the step component:
- All step procedures begin with
<Steps>and are closed with</Steps> - Each individual step begins with
<Step>and is closed with</Step>
Tip
The Keyboard Maestro macro for the step component is kkstepgroup.
