I use the "Hide Distracting Items" function in Safari a lot but unfortunately its not available as a menu item. I tried to use "Click a button" action as well but seems the action was registering as a right-click and not a regular click.
Any other ideas as to how to create a macro for this?
Thanks!
If you show your macro I might spot if it contains an error. In any case, I like your problem and I created a solution. In this solution, the actions that I coloured yellow are actions that you will have to customize based on your screen resolution, light/dark mode, etc. Since you will need to customize this macro, I won't upload it, I will simply show a screen shot below... (the semaphore is simply to prevent this macro from running twice at the same time)
Thanks for the insights, Airy
You are welcome. It's not perfect code, but it should work.
Using the "Select or Show a Menu Item" action seems to work great.
I also added a toggle functionality
Unfortunately, Reader view isn't the same thing as "Hide Distracting Items...".
Nope -- but (and colour me surprised!) the widget it's hiding under is seen as a button by KM! So we can hit it with a combo of button press and image detection:

You'll probably have to set your own image -- be quick so it doesn't trigger highlighting when you drag over it!
Fun fact -- the pop over doesn't seem to be picked up as part of "the front window" for image detection, hence using an area instead.
