Good idea 👍🏻 Would be great if you zoom in on the content when recording , like for me watching it on a phone 😎 Otherwise good video editing and nice short intro 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Hello Mattia, I am so glad you found this helpful! Sorry for the delay, working on this TH-cam thing :) I have tons of macros, most are simple little things to save me a click or two and a few are monsters that move the world around for me lol. I have a few posts on my site where I go in depth on how I use Keyboard Maestro: www.themikeburke.com/tag/keyboard-maestro/ But as an example of a very 2020 macro: I have KM mark my 1st grader present for virtual schooling every day. Our school district has a website which students have to log into and click that they are here. So I have KM (running on my Mac mini) log in and click the "I am here" button. It takes a screenshot and uploads it to a Google Drive folder that I can check to make sure it worked.
@@MikeBurkeTech hello Mike, I’ve been using some nice ones that save me tons of time, especially for automation stuff. However i feel like i’m just scraping the surface. will definitely check ur work
I do something very similar - ";mon " (with a space) expands to the date of the Monday after today e.g. "Monday 29-3-2021". Then ";nmon " expands to the next Monday after that, and ";lmon " expands to the date of last Monday. And of course I have the same set up for the other days of the week (so 21 shortcuts total, plus ";tod " for today). That covers me for a week in the past and two weeks in the future, which is pretty much eveything I need for emails etc. I also have ";dd " to expand to today's date in DD-MM-YYYY format e.g. "26-03-2021" and ";dr " to expand to the reverse order e.g. "2021-03-26" (handy for filenames on things like photos or receipts that you'll want to sort by date). And ";dt " and ";dtr " for date/time stamps, like yours :-). I definitely prefer YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM format like you, but sometimes other humans handle DD-MM-YYYY better :-). Since I receive a lot of files from other people via email and save them in project folders, I have a Keyboard Maestro shortcut ⌃⌥⌘-D for the Finder that renames all selected files, prepending their name with the YYYY-MM-DD date. That helps separate the various versions of the same file when they send a revised version later. Anyway, thanks for the videos, and keep up the great work!
Hello Darren, thanks for your kind words! Until the rest of the world realizes that YYYY-MM-DD is the only way to record dates, we will have to juggle both in our heads. Another great reason to automate the creation of both dates. I very much like your prepend all selected files shortcut and will have to steal that; thanks for sharing!

Great ideas. Sadly, the link to the web site doesn't work.
Sorry @rocadamus, coincidently, I just had an outage on my site. It is back up and running now. Sorry about that!
@@MikeBurkeTech Great thanks
Thank you super useful. What other macros do you ordinarily use?
