Learn Keyboard Maestro at MacTips

I love work: I could watch it all day — at least when it’s my computer doing it and not me.

One of my favourite things is finding ways to make my computer work harder so I can work less. Sometimes that means Applescript, or using utilities like Launchbar or TextExpander.

Sometimes it means setting up macros in Keyboard Maestro, so that I click once or type a couple of characters and then a string of actions happens as if by magic.

That’s one reason why in August I wrote a series of MacTips about how to work with Keyboard Maestro:
