![]() ![]() If I were going to the right, toward the other landscape monitor, this would be positive. This is the position relative to 0,0 (top, left) of the main screen. One thing to note, the window position is a negative number. First we move the window to the correct position, then resize it. ![]() ![]() Now that we have the correct position for TextSoap recorded, we can make a quick macro to get it into position. Move and Resize a window using built in option or choose Custom With all the window positions recorded, the next step is to use the Move a Window block to set those values.Īfter moving a window, it can be resized using the Custom position and size. As you click different windows, the name and position are displayed in a Keyboard Maestro result window. It should only be set to trigger when you’re grabbing window coordinates, otherwise it will pop up dialog boxes every time you click an app window.įrom the trigger, this macro will execute when the window focus changes. Macro to get the window title and screen positionīy default this macro should be off. We can now make a macro like this to record the screen positions. The calculated values we’re going to use are: We’ll use these to capture the coordinates of the window. Keyboard Maestro has built-in commands to display the window name, position, and size. That done, it’s time to create a simple macro to record the window locations so they can be used in another macro. For me, this would be positioning TextSoap, where I want it on the vertical monitor. The first step is to arrange windows in the desired location and at the correct size. We’re going to us Keyboard Maestro to help find the size and position of the windows once we have the correct layout. In fact, we’ve looked at this macro before, but it’s worth revisiting as we work toward making workspaces. Instead of me having to move and resize the window, I can have Keyboard Maestro do it. For example, I want TextSoap, at a specific size, and specific position on my first vertical monitor. Since I have multiple monitors, two in landscape, two in portrait, I have a specific layout for my apps. Since the button works the same as any other USB Device Key trigger, you can detect press, release, tap, tap twice, and so forth, giving you many ways to interact with the button.Īnd since you can set the title and image on the button from Keyboard Maestro, you can have a lot of feedback on the keyboard as well.Novem⌘ Getting started with Keyboard Maestro – Positioning windowsĪnother easy macro to get started with is positioning windows. Also, if you have multiple Stream Deck Profiles, and buttons on different profiles that are intended to trigger different macros, then you should set the row and column uniquely in each Profile. If you wish the button to remain triggering the same macro when you move it, you should set the row and column explicitly. By default these will track the position of the button on the keyboard, and you should probably leave them all blank unless you have specific needs. The button also has an ID which is how you refer to it from Keyboard Maestro actions, as well as a row and column number which is how the button appears to the USB Device Key trigger. You can configure the position and font and size of the title which appears in the button, as well as the title of the button. In Stream Deck, you can configure the button: For any button you want to use with Keyboard Maestro, drag the resulting Keyboard Maestro entry (in the Automation category) to a button. ![]()
