Keyboard Maestro 6 will save you more time than ever before.
Whether you are a power user or a grand parent (or both!), your time is precious. So why waste it when Keyboard Maestro can help improve almost every aspect of using your Mac. Even the simplest things, like typing your email address, or going to Gmail or Facebook, launching Pages, or duplicating a line, all take time and add frustration. Let Keyboard Maestro help make your Mac life more pleasant and efficient.
Share your macros across multiple Macs using Dropbox or other file sharing services. You can disable different Macro Groups or adjust your macro behaviour on each Mac.
Write your own Plug In Actions to extend Keyboard Maestro in ways we haven’t yet covered (if you can find any). Then easily package them and distribute them to your friends.
Everything is styled text now. Insert styled text, apply filters to styled text, have tokens in styled text, apply styles to clipboards. Man, do we have style or what?
Trigger a macro when you plug in a USB device. This is fantastic with ScanSnap scanners, open them up and the ScanSnap software launches automatically.
Trigger a macro when your wireless network changes. Perhaps the new Set Network Location action would be useful with this?
Press a hot key, and then type in part of a macro name. Quick and easy for those infrequently used macros.
Use the same hot key with a bunch of macros, and then let Keyboard Maestro filter the list down to one with a few keys.
Step through macros one action at a time to see where you and the system disagree on what to do next. Or just watch the actions flow by.
OK, so it is a bit like putting lipstick on a pig, but Keyboard Maestro 6 includes retina friendly graphics and a beautiful new icon from Iconaholic.
Now you can control your web browser, make new windows and tabs, fill in and submit forms, click links and even execute JavaScript.
And if for some bizarre reason you don’t like the new icon, you can customize it yourself and easily share your status menu icons with other users.
And with over a hundred other improvements, there is bound to be something for everyone.
Launch any application at the touch of a key. Show applications, hide them, bring them to the front, all at your command.
Insert any kind of text. Keyboard Maestro can type it in for you, or it can paste in styled text or images. Easily insert your name, address, logo, signature, whaetever.
Use all sorts of expressive tokens like today's date in any format, window positions, wireless networks, Safari document URL and much more.
