Activate SideCar to Enable iPad as a Second Monitor

Hi all, fyi this works for me on Ventura 13.4.1 (change the name of your iPad in the Script...)

Did not work in Sequoia for me either. Before I saw this, I created this hacky macro to enable Sidecar to my iPad. I could not find a keyboard shortcut to invoke Sidecar, so I set up a shortcut (first action in the macro) to search menu bar items using the Ice app. Ice is an app to manage your menu bar items (à la Bartender).

Note that the mouse click coordinates will likely need to be changed for any other user since the screen resolution and the menu position of the iPad in the menu will be different for everyone.
