Buttons
By default, the Prompt for User Input Action comes with two buttons:
-
Responds to shortcut ⏎ (RETURN)
-
Closes the Prompt.
-
Flows proceeds to next Action.
-
Responds to shortcuts of either ⎋ (ESCAPE), or ⌘. (COMMAND-PERIOD)
-
Closes the Prompt without writing the variables.
-
Cancels the Macro
You can add more buttons to allow for other options. For example, “Save” and “Save and Send”.
You can optionally assign a shortcut key by applying a suffix to the Button Name in the form of /«character», which will cause the Button to respond to a keystroke of ⌘«character» (or just «character» if there are no focusable text fields).
Suffix | Button Responds to Shortcut Key of: |
---|---|
/. |
⎋ (ESCAPE) key. |
/ |
⏎ (RETURN) key. |
/H |
⌘H keystroke (as an example) (or just H if there are not any text fields in the form) |
/- |
no shortcut |
No question here, but I just wanted to thank Peter (@peternlewis) for making such amazing software.
This has been bothering me for a while and I couldn't press escape in these dialog boxes.
I had figured out how to change the default but didn't read well enough that I could also assign key commands to the other boxes.
So helpful and handy; thank you for being such an amazing programmer.
I hope you train someone up in your stead to take on Keyboard Maestro when you get sick of working on it or retiring.
