Trying to set up a basic KM macro that is triggered via a LaunchBar action with the idea that the input string (LaunchBar input) should be passed onto the macro.
This is my current attempt where I am copying the input string to clipboard and pasting it in the macro:
-- LaunchBar Action Script
on handle_string(theString)
set the clipboard to theString
tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
do script "9026166A-0EB6-4185-87C8-BC747ED093D7"
-- or: do script "Search Nimbus Note"
-- or: do script "9026166A-0EB6-4185-87C8-BC747ED093D7" with parameter "Whatever"
end tell
end handle_string
Above works ok but I am wondering how I can do the same w/o using the clipboard.
I think it is something along the lines of:
If it is really that important to you, I guess you could use LB with a custom Action that takes your input and then triggers a KM macro, passing the input as a parameter to the Macro. Then use the %TriggerValue% token to read the parameter.
Just give it a try. So that your macro is not so susceptible to interruptions. Please pay attention to the actions from "Activate Nimbus Note" in my macro.
I prefer typing ns for note search in LaunchBar to remembering ⌘Y. LaunchBar is pretty much my main control center and I just want to remember ⌘+Space to bring it up and type aliases or text to do what I want.
I give you right @Sridhar. I myself also use a lot of actions, also in KM, with Launchbar 6.
From your contribution I can see that you are now running it. Could you share the complete AppleScript for Launchbar. I would also like to use your workflow. Thanks a lot.
