The Keyboard Maestro (v8+) editor supports the Touch Bar in the future for use within the editor. So Apple knows and understands the need, but have not made the facility available for Third Party macro trigger style applications. The API for the Touch Bar does not appear to allow non-front applications to affect the Touch Bar, except that Apple does this themselves in Xcode and Screen Capture and the like. Otherwise the two Macs will be considered the same Mac for several purposes which may cause problems with Remote triggers and Macro Syncing.ĭoes/will Keyboard Maestro support the Touch Bar? Also, if you use this method and continue to use both Macs, you will need to run the Terminal command:ĭefaults delete MacUUIDĭefaults delete MacRemoteUUID If you are going to continue using both Macs (a single user license for Keyboard Maestro allows you to use it on up to five Macs), you should use Macro Syncing instead. Make very sure that the resulting files and folders on your new Mac have the correct ownership and permissions. Note that you can get to the ~/Library folder (which is hidden by default) in the Finder by holding down the Option key and selecting Go ➤ Library. Transfer the ~/Library/Application Support/Keyboard Maestro folder, and optionally the ~/Library/Preferences/com.stairways,keyboardmaestro.* files (the latter include minor settings and preferences, as well as your license details). Not sure if there is a solution to this.Make sure Keyboard Maestro and Keyboard Maestro Engine are not running on either Mac. Not sure if this works system-wide, but works in my browsers, Mail, and the BookReader app I'm using.Įdit 2: I have noticed that when activating a secondary text-to-speech voice via the Automator Service the Automator Runner process drives up processor activity to above 100% with fans speeding up. You will notice that the additional shortcut allows you to start several voice threads, talking over each other plus the default system voice, which drives up processor activity, but no problem if one remembers to stop the speaking by double-executing of the shortcut for the default voice. Make sure the shortcuts don't conflict with other shortcuts. The reason for twice is because pressing it once starts the English voice over the German voice. Control+Y starts German voice for German selected text which can be stopped by clicking the main start/stop shortcut twice, here Control+S+S. The German voice I have assigned Control+Y (Yannick voice from Lion OS). So far, it works like this on my machine (OS 10.6.8): Default System Voice: Ryan (Infovox) Shortcut Selected in Speech Pref to Control+S. (The Services List can be edited/cleaned up with Service Scrubber Application and partly under System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services)Įdit: Now that you have two or more Voices under the Services Menu, you can go to: System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Shortcuts and create a new Shortcut for each voice. Open Automator, choose Service, Service receives selected text, drag action "Speak Text" to build worklow select Voice (for example: Ryan Speaking) Save These are the instructions i found online and followed: So this pretty much works as on the iPad, only i have to choose which language, but you don't have to go true acceblility options to change the voices any more when i use my own made shortcut in this case (ctrl option cmd + k) it starts speaking in english. if i use option escape my default voice speaks. I actually only had to make a shortcut for karen. Note: i use 2 languages, dutch is my main, and i use english as second, i use the karen voice. i followed these steps and it works great!!!. You can use automator and keyboard shortcuts.
