Context Control / Macro Layer
Last updated
Last updated
For context control, there are 2 main shortcuts. Switching between different applications which can be done natively on mac with cmd+tab and switching between multiple instances of an application with cmd+tilda.
I use Keyboard Maestro and have a modifier layer(meh) set to the caps lock key to trigger commands. Within keyboard maestro, it has its own application switch that I find more visually pleasing. I activate switching applications with caps+d and between the same applications with caps+f.
This has saved me many times and allows me to more easily switch content in two different locations. I added this macro to the editing/navigation layer on the "b" key near the paste.
I use this all the time. I have a pomo timer that allows you to specify a time, then and optional parameters. Then after the timer ends, a prompt will appear. At a later date, I'll share the full application that sends user data to a log file. I would like to have some nice visuals using this data, but have not had the motivation / time to implement that functionality yet.
Hot strings are just a series of characters typed. I have a couple of them that are custom to individuals like emails or work related strings. An example of a common string I use is http://localhost: that can be done with the code below.
If you want to trigger applications, macros, or scripts at a certain time or on start, then the code block below can be useful.
