Print a List of Keyboard Maestro Macros and Triggers

[tonycr46]

I find it hard to believe this topic hasn't been addressed, but I can't find it with several searches.

I'd like to get a list of the macros (just names), along with the keystrokes assigned, that are contained in the highlighted group. Could be text or CSV. Just want to print a reference sheet.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tony

Look toward the bottom of this topic for some different approaches:

Export Names of all Macros in the Selected Group to CSV or Excel

Hey Ray, You can do something like this to produce better copy: Display Names and Triggers of Selected Keyboard Maestro Macros in BBEdit v1.00.kmmacros (6.3 KB) [image] It requires tweaking to better present non-hotkey triggers and multiple triggers, but the result can be turned into a fairly neat table. -Chris

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Seems odd that there's not a KM menu item that would do this.

Hey Tony,

Make a feature request to Peter.

Is there no hope for this to become a Keyboard Maestro menu item?

I have quite a few KM keyboard shortcuts for frequently used phrases but the list has grown such that I cannot remember infrequently used shortcuts.

I have tried to implement the suggestions for scripting at:

Export Names of all Macros in the Selected Group to CSV or Excel

Is it possible to export all macro names in a group to a CSV file. I have many macros I am trying to sort and keep track of and move around. Is there anyway export just their names in a group so I can sort theses. Ideally it would be great if the key commands also were in a column but not mandatory. If this is not possible maybe I could parse the /Users/~/Library/Application Support/Keyboard Maestro/Keyboard Maestro Macros.plist myself after making a copy of it. It would likely be quicker th…

but I'm unable to get this to work. I may be overthinking this because I seem to be an idiot at AppleScript although I can limp along with PHP and JavaScript.

I'm clearly doing something wrong at a basic level or not doing something I should.

I feel like a frustrated idiot.

Macro listing is demonstrated in various threads on this forum.

(See, for example: MACRO: List All Macros By Size - Macro Library - Keyboard Maestro Discourse)

The more intractable part is obtaining a human-readable representation of the keystrokes, which are encoded at a hardware level, the interpretation of which varies with locale and keyboard layout.
