I'm using this "app" called Smart Scroll (it's a System Preferences app) to invert the mouse's X axis on a particular application that has it all mixed up: one section it scrolls left > right, another section is right > left.
So I would like to use KM to change that setting inside Smart Scroll by using a shortcut.
Using UI Browser, this is what I get:
application "System Preferences"
standard window "Smart Scroll" (window 1)
group (group 1)
group (group 1)
checkbox "⟷ X axis" (checkbox 7)
Would I be able to tick/untick this option even when System Preferences is not open?
You could dig around in your Preferences folder and see if Smart Scroll has a plist you might be able to manipulate. Even if it does that may not work without killing/relaunching Smart scroll (or even logging out and back in!), so you'll have to try it and see.
What if I create a macro that launches System Preferences and then Smart Scroll when that other app (Loopcloud) launches? Will I be able to manipulate Smart Scroll even if it’s not visible, but it’s running?
