Hi everyone!
I’m trying to create an automation (primarily using Keyboard Maestro) to setup my workspace for a particular task, e.g. by launching the right apps, opening a web browser to a couple pre-defined URLs,
laying out the windows, etc.
I’ve been able to get it mostly working, but so far it assumes that there is no other app/window open when I run the macro to give it a consistent “blank slate” starting position.
I am now trying to improve the automation so that it can be run even if there are existing windows/apps but am running into some difficulties. I was wondering if people who have similar workspace-setup automations could share how they handle this - do they only run their automations when nothing else is running? Do you have your automation hide and/or minimize all your existing windows before it launches the desired apps? Any advice/tips would be helpful for me!
