Hi, Mac Power Users!
If you are a fan of Markdown and Keyboard Maestro, you might find some use for a macro I shared on the Keyboard Maestro Forum:
MACRO: Markdown Link Tool, v5.0 - Macro Library - Keyboard Maestro Discourse
Yesterday I uploaded Version 5; that post includes some screenshots that summarize the macro features.
+1 for Keyboard Maestro as a good base on which to build a web clipper workflow.
Version 6.0 of Markdown Link Tool is now available.
The Markdown Links can now be exported to a JSON file. This is initiated by launching the macro from the Keyboard Maestro editor with the Command Key (⌘) down. The file, MLT.json will be written to the folder defined by local_Folder. I use this exported file to import into the application Anybox. (The JSON is structured to import the links into the MLT Anybox Collection.) With that information in Anybox, on iOS, I created a shortcut named Markdown Link Tool that uses Choose from List shortcut action. The shortcut then updates the iOS Clipboard with the selected Markdown Link.
Running Copy Markdown as Link is done using AppleScript. This allows the UUID to be a variable which gives some flexibility. The UUID included by default refers to the 2024-03-16 version downloaded from the GitHub site: GitHub - RobTrew/copy-as-md-link: macOS Keyboard Maestro macro group – single keystroke to copy MD links from different applications
Optimized the method to compile and present the saved links, thus the initial Prompt With List appears more quickly.
Modified the logic to significantly improve performance.
Removed the header comment to conserve space in the Keyboard Maestro plist. The header information is now available only on the Keyboard Maestro forum.
