I have just upgraded to OS 14.0. I have quite a few Menu Bar Items and the black notch in the top middle of the screen was hiding some of these. To get around this I started using Bartender 5 to make all the Menu bar items accessible. I can't figure out how to make a macro that activates the Bartender Menu Item (3 dots) in order to then activate a Menu Bar Item that then becomes accessible. Perhaps it is possible to activate the desired Menu Bar Item directly, but I can’t find how to do that either. Any ideas?
Bartender has an AppleScript interface, so you could do various things with Bartender from a Keyboard Maestro Execute AppleScript action.
To browse the interface:
Script Editor > File > Open Dictionary... > [choose Bartender 5.app]
One starting point might be:
tell application "Bartender 5"
toggle bartender
end tell

Bartender also has its own hotkey system. Have a look in the preferences.

Great. Thank you. I should have thought of it myself.
