Have them positioned the way you want and start working. You can build a macro that Quit All Applications followed with the apps you want to run. Let’s say you’re trying to enter “recording podcast flow” and wish to run the necessary apps and have them positioned. The second approach is to prepare workspaces. Take this macro for Adium as example where it’ll resize and move the contact list to the top right of the screen and center the chat window. The first one is to create default position and size for apps - they’re the type of apps I seldom move around such as Adium, Messages, and Slack. I have two approaches when it comes to organizing windows. Even small screen devices such as MacBook Air benefits from setting up workspace properly.

Working in large screen demands accurate windows positioning to harness the available screen space. The following macro will check the status of Open in New Tab menu item and choose to either open selected file, or open the folder in new tab. This macro simulates secondary click and choose the Inspect Element from the available list items.īy using the actions under control flow group, you can use one shortcut for two type of tasks. I also use this type of macro to run features that can’t be found in menu bar like Safari Developer Tools Inspect Element. To simplify the flow, I assign tab key to alternate between two accounts with the following macro. The default flow to switch between accounts requires me to press the Command-/ before displaying the list of available accounts. But you can do much more with Keyboard Maestro: you can assign single key as shortcut.įor example, I often switch between Twitter accounts in Wren for Mac. You can configure shortcuts without Keyboard Maestro in Keyboard Preferences. Embrace the flaws in your macros because you need to start with something rough before it can be polished. Trust your method and build macros that work. But I need you to remember that there is no right or wrong way to build macros. Most of the macros you see in this list are from my macro library. Instead, I’m going to show you the type of macros you can build in this article.

Sharing the macros I use to copy the data from analytics to spreadsheet won’t give you a single clue on how to build a useful macro.
A reader asked me to share my macro library with him recently.
