Spotlight custom trigger?

[JMichaelTX]

@ddas

So in my dreams, I'd love to call up Spotlight (which I use very frequently, by hitting cmd-space), and type "kmdothis" and Keyboard Maestro would instantly trigger the macro "do this." (And so on...x100)

Can KM tie into Spotlight like that? Or can anyone else suggest any alternate way to trigger lots of macros via some more easily rememberable way?

Yes. It can all be done from KM macros.
Just assign the one you want a hotkey you like.
I use ⌃⌥⌘M to trigger Dan's macro.

• Trigger Macro by Name action (KM Wiki)
  OR
• MACRO: Execute Macro by Name (Spotlight)
  • A great macro by @DanThomas, which I use many times a day
  • I prefer it because it is limited to searching the macro name, whereas the native KM action searches for matching text in all Actions in the macro.

I recently responded to a similar request. See examples and screenshots here.
