Keyboard Maestro is a very powerful app. I like it a lot and use it on a daly basis, mostly for navigating through the system with Finder ad for launching apps and some actions. Keyboard Maestro can be a nice window manager two. But I prefer Moom for this task, because it has the nice grid when hovering over a window's plus button (the one which is usually green). I use this function a lot to arrange applications for different tasks. The problem with Moom is, that it does no sync, nor it has an option to export the settings. That means that you'll have to recreate any changes form one Mac to another manually.
I finished the European/German rules. I was faster then I planned I would be, because the rules I had from earlier were not as bad as I thought.

General Stuff about the Rules
I made Hazel rules for dates with the two formats:
- Gregorian little-endian, starting with day (Day-Month-Year, Europe)
- Middle-endian, starting with month (Month-Day-Year, U.S./English)
In addition both versions support the Gregorian big-endian, starting with year (Year-Month-Day) format.
Here is a simple Keyboard Maestro macro, which opens the actual webpage in Chrome, and another one, which closes Chrome and switches back to Safari. This is e.g. handy, if you want to check a Flash-based webpage and Safari is your main browser, but you don’t want to install Flash.
Just that you know, I have modified my Caps Lock Key to a Hyper Key, like Brett Trepstra did. So pressing Caps Lock + C starts my macros (but be aware: when you want to make a “Hyper Key” shortcut with Keyboard Maestro, you still need to press the SHIFT + CTRL + ALT + CMD + SOMETHING-Key to define the trigger).
