Here's one that's stickier than I'd anticipated: I love my Quick Macros, and have at least five enabled by default. I've got a big MIDI footswitch board that I'm playing with, and am interested in buttons 6-10 recording Quick Macros 1-5, with buttons 1-5 playing those Quick Macros.
The recording function is naturally simple, just assigning the trigger to a MIDI event. It's the playing of the Quick Macro that's problematic - "Play Quick Macro hot key" will only accept input as a keyboard shortcut or script - no option for MIDI input there. Making a separate Macro to trigger the Quick Macro hot key (opt F1) by MIDI doesn't work, the result of that Macro (opt F1) isn't triggering the Quick Macro. Trigger Macro doesn't appear to be an option as well.
Do I need to go a scripting route, or is there a feature I'm overlooking? I don't want to involve any third-party softwares as a workaround, this is something KM should be able to do on its own.
Ended up getting this done with Applescript, which turned out to be quite simple.
In the Record Quick Macro action, select dropdown menu "Or by script." and copy the resulting Applescript. In the macro being triggered by MIDI input to play back the macro, add action "Execute Applescript" and paste the copied Applescript.
