Custom Keyboard Maestro Plug-in

(c) 2021 Robin Trew

NAME

  • Join a KM Array with a delimiter

VERSION

  • 0.01

SYNOPSIS

A given KM Array variable (in CSV or JSON) format, is joined together into a single string, using the supplied delimiter.

NOTES

The KM Array variable can either be in a simple comma-delimited format:

apples,oranges,bananas

7,49,343

or in JSON format (in which string values always need to be double-quoted, rather than single-quoted):

["apples", "oranges", "bananas"]

[7, 49, 343]

REQUIREMENTS

  • This plugin has so far been tested on macOS Catalina, with Keyboard Maestro 9.2

INSTALLATION OF CUSTOM ACTION PLUGIN

  1. If updating a previous version of the action, first manually remove the
    previous copy from the custom actions folder at:
    • ~/Library/Application Support/Keyboard Maestro/Keyboard Maestro Actions
  • Drag the .zip file onto the Keyboard Maestro icon in the OS X toolbar.

USE OF CUSTOM ACTION IN A KEYBOARD MAESTRO MACRO

  1. In macro-editing mode, click the green New Action button, select the
    Third Party Plugins smart folder in the left hand panel of the Actions List
    and choose the "Split a String to a List"
  2. Adjust the settings of the custom action, choosing the file path,
    project name, and TaskPaper 3 item format that you want.
  3. Test the macro. If notifications are enabled on your macOS system, or you
    have changed 'Display results briefly' to 'Display in a Window' at the
    bottom of the custom plugin, you will see a brief summary of the result.
