![]() I have not tried the tap vs hold option in Karabiner Elements, but that is intriguing. META-M opens a palette with a variety of email templates for groups of people I email frequently. I also took David’s idea and have META-X, META-C, and META-V which open palettes with 9 clipboards to which I can respectively cut, copy, and paste to expand clipboard usage. As in my earlier post on file remaining, META-R opens a KM palette for file and folder renaming and tagging using my various scripts. I have Karabiner Elements installed as well with a META key created. I can’t believe I forgot that important reason for using KM over Hazel. logs processing rules run on all Macs via the syncing of macros via KM, which means I only need to maintain one set of rules. ![]() I have an automation folder in KM that works on all Macs, as well as automation folders that are restricted to each machine for things that are machine-local. With the macros created in KM, I sync them across all Macs. With Hazel, I need to copy the rules to each Mac and maintain them on each machine, so if I make changes on one I need to update the others as well. logs folder on all of my Macs, for the log files on each Mac. KM is the app of choice when a folder needs to be monitored but the actions required are NOT covered by Hazel or KM but are best handled via a complex scripting solution.Īnd so that’s how I am dividing my use of Hazel and KM, at least for now.įirstly, I left out one of the most important reasons to use KM for file management instead of Hazel.KM is the app of choice when the actions should be run based on user triggering (eg trigger the macro via a command-key sequence, typed keyword, selection from menu or palette) rather than on a background basis. ![]() KM is the app of choice when actions need to run based on a non-folder local trigger and run on files spread out amongst multiple folders, or on a selection of files in the Finder. ![]()
