NOTE: Macro was uploaded in DISABLED state. You will need to ENABLE before it can be triggered.

###Use Case

  • Quickly make a window size to fill the screen, and then restore to original size
  • This is different than zoom to Full Screen -- the Apple Menu is still visible
  • I use this many times a day with stock charts.

  • To facilitate the reading, customizing, and maintenance of this macro,
    key Actions are colored as follows:
  • GREEN -- Key Comments designed to highlight main sections of macro
  • MAGENTA -- Actions designed to be customized by user
  • YELLOW -- Primary Actions (usually the main purpose of the macro)
  • ORANGE -- Actions that permanently destroy Variables or Clipboards,
    OR IF/THEN and PAUSE Actions

REQUIRES:

  1. Keyboard Maestro Ver 7.3+ (don't even ask me about KM 6 support).
  2. El Capitan 10.11.6+
  • It make work with Yosemite, but I make no guarantees.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

  • While I have given this limited testing, and to the best of my knowledge will do no harm, I cannot guarantee it.
  • If you have any doubts or questions:
    • Ask first
    • Turn on the KM Debugger from the KM Status Menu, and step through the macro, making sure you understand what it is doing with each Action.

Thanks, It is good. The only thing I don't know is why there are two simulated right arrow click action after toggled to the full screen? I removed them and everything seems work normally.
