A more efficient way of using "Switch of Variable" or perhaps another solution? (no scripts if possible)

Questions & Suggestions
#1

I use this setting (for 3 options):
switch_variable
(then 2 and 3...., not included in the screen dumps)

I would prefer to just hit the keys 1, 2 or 3 (much quicker( rather than having to click in the dialogbox and open to see the choices and manually select + enter.

So this is how it looks now:
km_menu

So my end goal would be to output something like this:
ideal_km

Then just hitting 1, 2 or 3 and then go directly to 1, 2 or 3.

(The variable name "Local__IconChoice" is not really logical in this context. I used it for another macro...... And choice 3 is not that logical eihter, I am testing some things....)

#2

Here's an idea:

  1. Create a separate macro for each action you wish done.
  2. Assign all of them the same Hot Key
  3. Create another Macro (Sub-Macro) to be called by each of the above to do the actual processing.
  4. Pressing the Hot key will show a Conflict Palette
  5. Press the number of the Macro you want.

It looks like this:

Will that work for you?

I would prefer a different solution one based on what I have more or less if possible. But if no other solution come up.... Thanks!

#4

How is my solution different from yours?

Except for the UI styling, that is almost exactly how my method works.

#5

Thanks! I will look more into it! And I will not forget to tell you here, with my conclusion.
(I was hoping there was a function within KM that would approach this more directly)!

#6

Now I have tried it more into the depths and it works great! I agree!
Thank you once more ! :smiley:
