There are other methods for macros that could give similar results via different means.
You would replace the display-text actions in the switch-action with your various tasks. You can press the trigger up to 3 times to give different results – by way of demonstration. I've added the action in RED to Dan's macro.

The macro counts the number of keypresses and stores that number in a variable. (You can adjust the delay time the macro allows between trigger presses.) What Dan's macro does is allow you to tap a given keyboard shortcut or device trigger multiple times in quick succession. When you try to have multiple macros with tapping triggers using the same key, the one with the fewest taps will step on all the others. No matter how many times you press the chord, it will be eaten by KM. Your device key is essentially a keyboard chord – when you press that chord Keyboard Maestro will eat it – e.g. I think you are misunderstanding what “key swallowing” means. HkmpKeypressCount is a variable name made up by for this particular macro – so there's no reason you would find it in any of the Keyboard Maestro documentation. This is using "set variable to text", but is that the best? Why not parameter, or why not some of the other posts that do a key count, keeping track of how many key taps, etc?ĭouble_Tap_Test_Letter_Only Macros (v9.2)ĭouble_Tap_Test_Letter_Only Macros.kmmacros (13 KB)Īlso, when I downloaded your macro, I tried to look up some of the actions, but there doesn't seem to be a match in the Wiki: If possible could you upload the actual actions programmed, or adjust my programming below and repost? 2 seconds, if no other tap occurs, do Marco D. 2 seconds, if no other tap occurs, do Macro C, 2 seconds, if no other tap occurs, do Macro B, 2 seconds, if no other tap occurs, do Macro A What's the fastest, simplest, most reliable way to do this?
Although I'm guessing any pinned programming would benefit from addressing "key swallowing" as well. I'm attempting this with an xKeys, which I believe doesn't have the swallowing issue. Also, it was from a long time ago, I'm wondering if KM updates have replaced some of the functionality. Also it seemed like it was using a keyboard input, introducing the addition problem of "key swallowing". Macro a keeps firing over and over I did not attempt this macro because I did not understand it. I'm using position click to activate the text document before KM "types" the text, so you may have to adjust the position. Just for test purposes, I'm attempting to insert text into a simple text document "macro a. I posted my programming attempt below based on something posted Pinned programming would help each newcomer, like myself, so each newcomer doesn't have to reinvent the wheel for a powerful base function.Īgain, I know timing and the individual actions will have to change, but at least the pause, do first, etc, is all built. And it possible for us to create programming and pin it somewhere easy to see in the Wiki to ensure that only the macro assigned to the final tap is fired? KM doesn't need a "prescience API", it just needs a pause feature.
