Before realizing that 'kmacro-start-macro-or-insert-counter (bound to F3) with one or two prefixes would allow me to add a space to a keyboard macro, I tried doing the same using 'kmacro-step-edit-macro, and I got the error message "After 0 kbd macro iterations: org-self-insert-command: Keyboard macro
terminated by a command ringing the bell". I was using my keyboard macro to make small changes to a file that was in org mode. The keyboard macro was similar to

"C-s S E L E C T <return> <down> <down> C-a C-f C-f SPC"

and I wanted to add another SPC to it.

By changing from org mode to fundamental mode, I could avoid this error message and modify the keyboard macro successfully.

I tried using

(defalias 'org-self-insert-command (symbol-function 'self-insert-command))
or
(defalias 'org-self-insert-command 'self-insert-command)

but still had no success step editing the macro and adding to it.
