Keyboard Maestro V9 RELEASED!

Got my email from Stairways with a link to my discount code. The email says You can purchase your discounted upgrade to version 9 for $18 until 8 October 2019. Just purchased the license through FastSpring and immediately got my new serial number.

Instant purchase! :sunglasses:

I bought it at the end of Dec…

Has anyone thought of any neat uses for the updated features? I am having trouble justifying the upgrade as I’m not sure I’ll use any of those actions! I might wait for v10.

How does KM differ from utilizing Hazel rules? Anyone have a link?

Here is a good link that talks about the differences: Musings: Hazel vs Keyboard Maestro

Keyboard maestro and hazel serve totally different purposes. You should try :slight_smile:

No mention about the new yet suddenly obsolete MacSparky Keyboard Maestro Field Guide.

Ha! I think David lucked out here… the UI is much the same, and there have been additions, but not subtractions, so he should be OK… which is good since he got hit with a major Shortcuts re-write already.

The new OCR features makes Keyboard Maestro a much more suitable (and already powerful) replacement for Hazel (I think). Fingers crossed the OCR works a treat.

Yeah I think David lucked out. His guide really upped my game too on KM. In fact it is now a consideration for my next computer that it support KM9, probably will hold off the upgrade till then as long as this one works with Catalina. The basics, which are something of a learning curve on KM are fully covered by David. With a kind of instinct for what one needs to know: an instinct I wish I had.
Already touched some points with @tjluoma. I will say that the advice and help I got on this site has been invaluable.

Yeah, what’s up with that @MacSparky? :slight_smile:

(though I think it’s not a major upgrade, so he should be fine)

I want to play with the Streamdeck actions. I also want to play with OCR. And that’s just the 2 items I remember… :slight_smile:

I had never heard of Streamdeck before Keyboard Maestro announced support for it, and now I really, really want one.

I just made the mistake of looking up what they are, too…

What does the feature of multiple windows do ?

Does it mean that we can run multiple UI based macros at the same time ?

Here’s a link for those curious about Stream Deck.

Aaaaaaand here’s the one that I ordered:

32 customizable buttons?! This is like Keyboard-Maestro-nerd Christmas!

I’d expect nothing less from you.

Now I’m eyeing the 6 button model and wondering if I can convince work to pay for it!
