Alternatives to Better Touch Tool's Key Sequence Triggers

Questions & Suggestions
14

It's a simple example, so one can pretty easily test and find out...

  • Wrong letters will be ignored.
     
  • This simple example macro has no method to cancel it. (That is an exercise for the user.)
    • However – there are several ways of exiting the macro.
      • Have a global macro Kill-Switch.
      • Add a timeout to the pause-until actions.
      • Add the Escape key to the sequence keys as an OR option and then provide a method to cancel the macro.

I have turned the sound off in the Macro, because keypresses activate the system error sound. That has to be managed if you cancel the macro.

@peternlewis – I'm finding myself wanting something like a %KeysPressed% token – or a means to customize the %ActionResult% of a given action.

%KeysPressed% would let the user pause-until pressed-keys change and provide all manner of comparison options.

Another possibility might be to add key-condition to the Switch action.

If you can think of a better way or a method already existing please let me know.
