![]() I use this fifty times a day if I use it once. This is normally a multi-step ordeal of de-selecting and re-selecting things. Send to LaunchBar: For some of my most frequently used apps, I have an AppleScript that mimics LaunchBar’s “instant send” feature and just places the file I’m working on into LaunchBar.įor Outlook (a program I use all the time and basically despise), I have a macro that breaks me out of search mode, goes back to the Mail view, and clicks on the top mailbox. This keeps me from opening lots of superfluous windows, and probably meets some expectation I have from back in the “layered apps” days of Classic MacOS. I do however have some that hide apps when they go to the background since they hog the screen and don’t use drag-and-drop much (if at all), specifically TurboTax, Keyboard Maestro Editor, Google Music (in Fluid), and Parallels Desktop.īring all windows to front: With Finder and Terminal, activating the app will also bring all of its windows to the front. I do not have hotkeys for opening apps, I leave that to LaunchBar. But if you want to see any specific ones, sound off in the comments or bug me on the Keyboard Maestro forum and I’ll be glad to help you out. I haven’t posted all of these scripts and macros because most of them are fairly obvious in how they work, and enough have very specific settings for my networks, or even contain sensitive information (app tokens and such), that I didn’t want to go through the effort and “sanitize” them. I though my few readers might get more benefit from learning about these truly indispensable scripts and macros than the more esoteric mini-programs that I’ve posted here. However, of these macros, there’s a handful that have proven truly “sticky” and that I continue to expand upon and use on a daily or near-daily basis. I’ve built up a tremendous library of scripts and macros in that time, many of which I’ve shared on this blog. I’ve been a KM user since 2010, a QuicKeys user before that, and a rabid AppleScripter before then. As one of the three readers of my blog, you’ve no doubt realized I’m on a bit of a Keyboard Maestro kick these days.
