![]() If you want to learn more about the course and potentially buy it from David, go to /…. But still, 4 hours of tutorial for less than $30 is less than half of minimum wage, right? But there is an introductory price of $24 which expires at the end of this week. If you’ve been wanting to learn Keyboard Maestro, I can highly recommend David’s Field Guide as a way to learn. I know this sounds like an ad, but you know me, if I don’t like something I won’t tell you it’s awesome! After I gushed on Twitter about how awesome his Keyboard Maestro Field Guide is, he offered me an affiliate code. ![]() I’m only 49% through David’s Keyboard Maestro Field Guide and I’m looking forward to carving out more time to learn from the master. This folder contains ‘Keyboard Maestro ist’, and open it to view how your macros are stored on disk. So you could create one where you enter the numbers or define a set of presets you commonly use. In your home folder, open Library, then Application Support, and finally Keyboard Maestro. One thing I would do here is use Keyboard Maestro, to create a set of shortcuts to automate this. I’m not that advanced yet but he has me thinking! Keyboard Maestro macros are stored on macOS in a property list file among other preferences. I told David about this usage and he challenged me to create a couple of scenarios depending on what kind of recording I’m doing, and have a picker come up on screen to choose what to do when I plug in my mic. I never use my mic without Audio Hijack so why should I have to go through the tedium of launching the app? One example was I figured out from watching David’s Field Guide was that I could have Audio Hijack auto-launch whenever I plug in my microphone. By the time I was 12% of the way through the course, I’d sent myself three notes of things I thought Keyboard Maestro could do to save me time. Keyboard Maestro is among the top three programs I recommend for getting started with Mac automation and automating nearly any task on your computer. If you like to go methodically through a course (as I do), you can mark each section as complete so you can figure out where to pick up the next time you sit down to learn some more.ĭavid’s style is always entertaining so I don’t even fall asleep when I’m trying to learn. This means you can dip in and out of sections you want to learn, or go back to a section to see it again, without having to fish through a 4-hour-long video. I don’t think any of the sections is longer than 5-10 minutes, and many are only 2-3 minutes long. He’s able to produce this long-form content into little bite-sized chunks. He’s using a new tool to distribute his Video Field Guides called Teachable. I’ve been wanting to really learn Keyboard Maestro for a long time, and even with a basics course by none other than Don McAllister, I still couldn’t figure out a use case for it.ĭavid’s Video Field Guides are much more detailed, and in fact this one is over four hours of video content. It’s really a very advanced automation tool designed to help you be more efficient. It’s not just a tool to make something happen when you hit a keystroke. Good friend of mine and great geek David Sparks has created another one of what he calls his Video Field Guides.
