Moving the dock by Shortcut?

Software
8

Here’s an AppleScript which will toggle the position between left and right:

tell application "System Events" to tell dock preferences
	if screen edge is right then
		set screen edge to left
	else if screen edge is left then
		set screen edge to right
	end if
end tell

I use the keyboard shortcut ⌥ D (because ⌘⌥ D is “Show/Hide Dock”) in Keyboard Maestro (c’mon, why don’t you own this app yet?!)

With Keyboard Maestro you could either move it to the right when Excel launches and move it back when Excel quits, or you could just move it when Excel is the front-most app and move it back when it is not.

Or just trigger it manually.
