Trigger a Google Verbatim search with keyword as parameter?

@akl,

Not to even attempt to grandstand my main man @tiffle, however, I wanted to remind some and educate others that you can use the Trigger by name Action by using the macro name followed by the //, to add your parameter, and not need the user prompt.

The wiki says " You can pass parameters (v8+) to the macro via the %TriggerValue% token by adding // and then the parameter to your search string. The // and anything after that will be ignored in the search."

Basically replace the Prompt for User input with the following.
Set Variable to Text.kmactions (486 Bytes)

To run the above macro using @tiffle's macro name, you would hit your Trigger macro by name hotkey (mine is F19), type the macro name, type //your parameter and hit enter. As soon as you type Test goog, KM will see your macro (machine learning) and all you would have to do is type // and your parameter.

Typing the full name:

KM's Machine learning:

Either way is fine, this just saves a little time. I use the Trigger Macro by name with the Trigger Value for a ton of KM uses. You can see this post for more information.

I hope I simply added to the discussion.

Take care,
KC
