If you wish to save a keyboard macro for later use, you can give it

This reads a name as an argument using the minibuffer and defines that name
to execute the macro. The macro name is a Lisp symbol, and defining it in
this way makes it a valid command name for calling with @kbd{M-x} or for
binding a key to with @code{global-set-key} (@pxref{Keymaps}). If you
specify a name that has a prior definition other than another keyboard
macro, an error message is shown and nothing is changed.
