Did anyone else catch @MacSparky 's excellent webinar this week?
I am struggling with one thing… why would you use a conflict palette over a “show palette macro” as David teaches on his KM Field Guide with say Setups?
Is there an advantage using one over the other?
A conflict palette gives you the option to trigger the macro from the keyboard.
It will f.e. show something like this (from the KM manual)
Typing the letter D would trigger the “Dropbox” link macro in this example.
I use this all the time - particularly as I run out of mnemonic keystrokes.
Yes, but if I run a keyboard trigger it will list all the macros in a folder like this:
How is that any different?!
did you set this group to be only active when triggered, and set the letters as the triggers for the individual macros?
A conflict palette generate the shortcuts automatically and dynamically. That’s why I use it.
Is this webinar still available online somewhere? Youtube maybe? I am more knowledgeable about KB now and would benefit from watching it again.
Thanks!
It has been made available as a separate entry in the (paid) Keyboard Maestro Field Guide.
As far as I know, the webinar is not published elsewhere.
(and since the webinar I am an active user of these conflict palettes)
