How I Use Keyboard Maestro at Work

[@zed9zed]

Nice demo. One suggestion: at 8:00, instead of using a (somewhat fragile) image search to find and then select the address bar, you can just send a keypress of cmd+L to set focus on the address bar. That will also select all of the address (but of course you could add a cmd-C just to be safe). Then you avoid the risk of some styling change of Chrome affecting your image search ability, and you also don't have to do a fake mouse click/drag.

My favorite is to send a text message to my wife every day at a random time between 1pm and 3pm that says "I love you! I'm thinking about you." without me having to even pause the KZbin video I'm watching at work. She didn't think that was as funny as I did when I showed her how smart and clever I was.

Amazing! I need to figure out how! Any hints?

Good job Matt. I feel that use case videos are important to help people understand what an app is all about and whether or not they might want to buy it. Such videos also expand a user’s perceptions of what they might be able to do, if they wish, with apps that they could perhaps be underusing.

Awesome video Matt! I have been toying with jumping into Keyboard Maestro and this video basically solidified that I will lol So many possibilities. It reminds me a lot of Shortcuts in terms of how you setup the macros. Thanks again for the video Matt!

Thank you for your tutorial , which tool do you use to show your keystroke😅

[@Edutrul]

Awesome demo I appreciate it 🎉

KM is the best! Incredibly powerful and if there is a dream for an idea of automation it is usually so that someone on their forum has tried it :)

[@ahmedaziz3024]

Thanks for the great video. but is it a good idea to put your plain passwords in the app?

[@daviddas]

Agree, I wouldn't do this for any important passwords. Better to use the macOS keychain or 1Password or similar that has full encryption.

[@johnprosser2142]

I'm guessing I could set up a single key for things like 1 for cut, 2 for paste, 3 for undo, 4 for redo...? Also, if I have a separate num pad to my keyboard will it differentiate between the two of them? Thank you!

[@albertkinng]

Is there a forum where people can share their macros so we can download the ones we need and install them on our computer?

[@lancelotdulac6076]

I think I will buy it now. Great video, thanks! It's definitely a huge time saver

[@HarikrishnanSrinivasan]

This was an amazing video explaining you're daily life use cases. I'm gonna get this app right away.🔥

[@TheRealStructurer]

Downloaded the trial version yesterday and now playing with it before deciding to buy. Do you know if it can detect different keyboards? I want to have a separate keyboard for macros. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@TheNewsWave]

I prefer text expansion over the system’s text replacement. What app would you recommend to easily sync text expansion with iOS and iPadOS? Thx.

[@nym49]

Quality content right there 👌

[@noahgreen6292]

Keep up the great work

[@daviddas]

Wish you had actually explained how to do text expansion with KM. I haven't done it before. I'm sure it's simple; I'm just now going to go google for the answer...

[@daviddas]

OK, duh, found it, as expected, it was super simple: triggered by: "this string is typed" and then it automatically defaults to deleting the typed string before it inserts the replacement text you want. Fantastic. I will be using this plenty. (But not for passwords or credit card numbers, for security reasons.)

[@daviddoernbach446]

Great video to attract attention to various uses with keyboard maestro. However, it was a bit basic for me. However, keep up the good work

Whenever I show people my macros, they ask "So why isn't your work done?"
