![]() ![]() Here are some of the other things I’ve configured Keyboard Maestro to do for me: This macro clicks the Don’t Save button in dialogs when I type Control + Shift + D. I use it all the time, and every time I do it saves me from having to grab the mouse, move the pointer across my two screens, and click the button. ![]() Finally, macros can string together multiple actions to create something that would require multiple time-consuming steps to perform.įor example, I’ve created a macro that clicks the Don’t Save button in dialog boxes to trigger it all I have to do is type Control + Shift + D. For another, a macro usually executes much faster than you could type or click. First, you don’t have to stop typing and reach for the mouse to trigger a macro. It’s easy, but you’ll probably have to tinker with macros you record in the editor before they’ll work precisely the way you like. Or use Keyboard Maestro’s “Record” function to record everything you do and save it as a macro. And creating macros by dragging and dropping actions is easy with Keyboard Maestro’s straightforward macro editor and huge library of actions. I’d be remiss if I didn’t pause at this point and explain what I mean by “macro.” In my book(s), a macro is any sequence of actions that can be saved and then invoked and played back with a single keystroke (or other trigger).Īctions you can string together with Keyboard Maestro include launching apps moving or clicking the mouse typing text choosing a menu item opening a specific file or folder and hundreds more. Yes, it’s a macro-maker, but it’s much more than that. Simply put, Keyboard Maestro makes macros, but to call it a mere macro-maker is a disservice. I’d be hard-pressed to name another Mac app that saves me as much time or as many keystrokes every day. ![]() The OS X (soon to be macOS) Dictionary defines a maestro as, “a great performer, especially a musician.” The application Keyboard Maestro from Stairways Software isn’t a musician, but it’s a great performer, especially when it comes to creating macros that save time and effort. ![]()
