It would be VERY helpful if we could stop, enable, disable (etc.) macros based on a part of the name, such as by using "* ScrOn" to specify macros named "Whatever ScrOn" to stop when the screen comes on. In this way whole groups of macros could be handled by one statement or variable.
I've been trying to streamline groups of macros that handle my WiFi switching, reminders, etc., all of which are handled differently at different times of day, AND based on my location. This would be INCREDIBLY easy if I could just include categories in the macro names themselves and call them out en masse with one function.
For example if I have several macros that I want running constantly except when I'm at home, OR when it's night, OR to stop temporarily when the screen is turned on, I could name the macro (for example "Complex Reminder Hom Nyt ScOn." Every macro could be named this way, and then one Stop Macro action could handle all of them under specific conditions by specifying the name "* Nyt *" for example. And, if you want to include or exclude existing macros from those groups, all you have to do is change the name and it joins or leaves the group, you don't have to edit a single macro.
