Hi KMs,
I am trying to create a macro that opens the most recent file in Adobe InDesign 2023. I see that I can add a Select Menu item, but the problem is, the name of the first item will always change. I thought about trying to create an AppleScript that finds the Recent Documents folder on a Mac and open the most recent one from there. However, I couldn't find where this location is on my Mac. Does anyone know where this might be stored or how I might create a macro to select the first item in the File>Open Recent>[First Item]? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually, you're in luck because just selecting the menu up to the point of picking a recent file already highlights the most recent file. After that, Keyboard Maestro just needs to replicate typing the Return key to open it.

Wow! That saved me a ton of time. It's funny, I was very close and had the macro almost set this way. I had no idea it would automatically select the first item with the Return key. NICE! Thank you Zabobon!
