  5. BetterTouchTool – BTT – trigger Keyboard Maestro macros with gestures and more. Integrates Keyboard Maestro triggers and the Touch Bar (with custom icons).
  6. KeyCue: display all active Keyboard Maestro macros that have hot keys assigned, organized by group. (This feature needs to be activated in KeyCue settings before you can use it.)

Karabiner is a must

Without Karabiner, Alfred and KM, I wouldn’t be able to sustain my mind maps :slight_smile:

I tried Launchbar before, but it didn’t seem as easily customizable as Alfred. What are your thoughts?

11 posts were split to a new topic: Using and Comparing LaunchBar (LB) with Alfred and other Apps

For my part, I use Alfred and LaunchBar. Each has their strong points, and (at least from what I’ve seen) there’s no performance hit by running them concurrently, so why limit yourself to one when you can have both?

I think this is exactly what I'm going to start doing.
