Pallets & Sub-Pallets Make KM So Easy To Use

I feel it is too cumbersome. Maybe you have a better solution?

@martin

Do you create a macro for every Macro Group to trigger the Macro Group? And then create a touch gesture trigger for every app in BTT?

That is correct @martin, if you want to call a macro group/palette via a BTT Touch.

Here I need a "Show Macro Group "Finder" for an action".

For single macros you do not need this intermediate step.

In BetterTouchTool you create a BTT touch gesture for the Finder and add the shown AppleScript action to it.

Now, to be able to quickly enter the KM AppleScript into BTT, I created the macro in this post:

Running a macro from BTT will only run it once

@bocciaman here is my KM macro that I use to insert the KM AppleScript into BTT. Is this what you meant? [2021_07_11_Support_1] 10)UUID BTT <2A9A 210711T180517>.kmmacros (6,4 KB) [10)UUID BTT <2A9A 210711T180517>]

To call my macro Groups /Palette via a BTT Touch gesture you have to apply my macro in the "Show Macro Group "Finder" for an action" macro!!!

As you can see in the first gif, I have created a macro group/palette for all installed apps.
For all macro groups/palettes I use the 3 finger touch gesture (right).

Since I work a lot with the mouse, as well as the trackpad, the BTT touch gesture is more suitable for me.

Here is an example of a preset workflow in Snagit 2021. I only need one touch gesture via BTT and 3 mouse clicks.
If I were to perform the actions shown using the keyboard, I would need to remember over 10 shortcuts to do so.
