This repository contains my custom Keyboard Maestro¹ macros:

INSTALLATION

some of the scripts are application specific, so i suggest you create a new group for these and assign them to the respective applications.

AVAILABLE SCRIPTS

Text Expansion Macros

Text Emoji Macros

My carefully curated list of text expansion macros for emojis. I believe this will be my most priced online contribution to this world.

Text Snippet Macros

Basically all other text snippets that aren't macros. Worth noting there's a bunch of really useful ones for date expansion that have been some of my most used ones e.g.

dt-     today's date formatted as yyyy-mm-dd
dt/     today's date formatted as yyyy/mm/dd
dthu    Human readable date - Jul 10, 2022 [Sun]

There's plenty more that i've found to be pretty useful over time.

Window Movers

After dabbling with a bunch of really good Window management apps (Moom, BetterSnapTool, Mosaic, Divvy, Phoenix) I switched back to using Keyboard Maestro because it allowed me to program highly specific behaviors that I was looking for. Here's a list of some of the variants:

• wm: center - center the window to your screen
• wm: full - full screen
• wm: half left - left half of the screen
• wm: half right - right half of the screen
• wm: major left - 72% of the left portion of your screen
• wm: major right- 72% of the right portion of your screen
• wm: minor left - 25% of left portion of screen
• wm: minor right - 25% of left portion of screen
• wm: screencast- resize to 1280 X 720
• wm: split 3 center - resize to 1/3 size of screen and center
• wm: split 3 left - resize to 1/3 size of screen and left align
• wm: split 3 right - resize to 1/3 size of screen and right align
• wm: vertical fill - with the existing width resize window to full height of the screen
• wm: tile apps - "tile" all the windows of the front most app so i can easily spot them.
• wm: tile apps all - "tile" all the windows of every app that's open and running so i can easily spot them.
• wm: time machine - take all the windows of the front most app and rearrange them like how time machine on the mac does (see picture below)
