[KM v11.0.3 on M2 Mac Mini running Sequoia 15.1.1]
I would like to get the dimensions of a window in one app (App A), then open another app (App B) window to match the dimensions of the App A window. I want the App B window to perfectly overlay the App A window. I tried this but can't use variables in the resize action. (I may also be blowing the regex -- that's for another day). Can anyone help? Thank you!
In your resize Action you need to write the Variable names directly without the enclosing % symbols
This is because these are numeric/calculation fields rather than text fields.
Local__left
not
%Local__left%
When you click in one of these fields to type something, you will see a little ācā symbol appear in the right of the field. This indicates it is a Calculation field.
Even better, you don't need any regex, because the %WindowFrame%1% token is an array:
The
%WindowFrame%tokens returns the location of the window in pixels of left, top, width, and height of the window in a comma-delimited numerical string.
(Taken from the Window Related Tokens wiki page.)
As a result, the macro can be as simple as this (using Finder for the demo):

Thank you for your time and solutions to my problem!
