Keyboard Maestro Jan 20, 2022

Hi,

Thanks for this!

Just for the record, the script is free but it requires the Keyboard Maestro license, which is a very good investment anyway!

Fully-functional trial version Jan 20, 2022

A fully-functional trial version of Keyboard Maestro is available for download from https://download.stairways.com/


Of course, this great software needs to be supported. As far as I know, the fully-functional trial version has no time limit, so if you're 'krap bij kas' at the moment, you can decide to get a license later.

Oh, thank you very much, but I've been a licensed Keyboard Maestro user for years. A must-have on the Mac!

Absolutely. Would be nice, if it could be part of the Plus package or a TGB:

(I hope the link works, I had to guess it.)

Best util ever for the Mac. I've automated tons of tasks. For all steps of my translational workflows.

I've added some actions to select a word, if no selection is active. Via Companions, groups of selected URLs can be searched.
