Keyboard Maestro Scripts

Scripts for use while working in Keyboard Maestro.

Although not needed, the shortcut keys I use to execute these via Keyboard Maestro or Alfred are included in case you're interested

Contents

• Edit Linked or In-Line AppleScript ⌥⇧E

  • When you trigger this script, it will determine if the action copied is an in-line or linked AppleScript and open the result in your preferred AppleScript editor (default is Script Debugger).
  • If it is in-line, it will compile the text in your editor
  • Check out the demo below.
    

• Add|Remove Status Menu Trigger ⌥S

  • Quickly add or remove a status menu trigger, best when mapped to a shortcut key.

• Collapse All [Pause|Type|Execute|Cancel|Paste|Delete|Menu] Actions ⌥⌃[

  • I like to keep these actions collapsed to keep my macros neat: Type Text, Pause for, Execute Macro, Type the keystroke, Notification, Cancel, Paste from Named Clipboard, Delete Past Clipboard, Select Menu Item, Set Variable
  • This script makes this easy by using the script Recursively Get Every Action then collapsing them for me
  • Demo:

• Copy Front Macros AppleScript Trigger ⌘⌃C

  • Copies the AppleScript trigger for the front macro without having to show the script snippet, best when mapped to a shortcut key.

  • Result looks like:

    # ignoring application responses
    tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
            do script "97A494D2-4988-4B66-853F-D72C028197D8"
            # or: do script "97A494D2-4988-4B66-853F-D72C028197D8" with parameter "Whatever"
    end tell
    # end ignoring

• Edit Last Executed Macro ⌃⇧E  🌎

  • Global script that shows the last executed macro, great when an edit needs to be made after execution.

• Edit Macro Group of Front App ⌘⌥K  🌎

  • Quickly jump to the macro group of the app you're currently in.

• Go To Executed Macro ⌘⌥G

  • Jump to the macro being called within a macro by the Execute Macro action.

• Recursively Get Every Action

  • This is a useful subroutine to get every action of the front macro, even those nested within if/else statements, switch statements, groups, etc.

• Renumber Macro Number Prefix ⌘⌃3

  • Batch rename macros to give them ordered number prefixes, or clear the prefixes altogether.

• Run Current Macro ⌘⌃R  🌎

  • Crucial action, I use it all the time to test out the macro I'm working on but haven't set a trigger for it yet.
