I'm a bit late to the party, but I only found out about this thread in the weekly summary email.
I'm using KM mostly for work, often calling APIs via short curl commands, for example:
- tracking time to Jira
- creating issues in Jira with shorter custom dialogs
- setting my status in Slack, stopping the time tracking and turning off the lights when I take a break
- automatically snoozing Slack, setting an according status and turn lights facing towards me to bright white whenever I join a Zoom call
- start/stop sharing my screen with F13/F15
- inserting current prices for stocks via typed text trigger
- launching the different tools of xScope from buttons on my Stream Deck
- send URL of the currently active tab to people in slack (keyboard shortcut + prompt with list)
Side note: Getting an ambidextrous gaming mouse with a lot of buttons and setting one of them as the 'Hyperkey' was a game changer, because most keyboard shortcuts seem to be for right handed people, but I'm a left handed designer and using the mouse a lot. Being able to trigger shortcuts with one hand is so much faster than having to move the hand from mouse to keyboard and back afterwards.
The most recent personal use of KM is when I'm playing the game No Man's Sky on my Mac. You can trade goods on different planets in this game and I can now press buttons on my Stream Deck to OCR what's currently shown on screen and save names and prices to an Airtable database for later reference.
