Asking because I have a mouse click related macro that helps me highlight text easily.
When activated via mouse click it basically clicks again and holds.
I have configured macro group only for the PDF app. But It seems like the condition just looks if the that app is in front, because if I click on menubar items or dock or some other app not focused but available on same screen it still executes.
So I want to add in an If condition where macro triggers only if mouse is in Right half of screen.
Thanks

Hey @forums2012,
Quite right. The macro group does NOT control where the click takes place – it only controls when the group is active. (In this case only when the PDF-app is frontmost.)
A click from Keyboard Maestro is going to click anywhere the system can click, since KM is in fact just driving the system.
Here's a quick example that does what you want.

Awesome!
Works like a charm!
Thanks a lot!
Just a followup question, how do I put exact coordinates into this?
Tried searching through wiki function screen() but my programming sucks. ![:stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:](https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/images/emoji/apple/stuck_out_tongue.png?v=5)
I want to offset the menubar + application titlebar as well. I tried this: "MouseY() > Screen (Main,Top,100)" but doesn't work
(The Top offset is ~100px for me in this case)
Also would love to exclude dock dimensions if I know how to put in exact coordinates to this.
Thanks in anticipation
Oops. Feel pretty stupid right now. Thanks a lot. ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/images/emoji/apple/slight_smile.png?v=5)
