I encountered an issue while testing the "Show/Hide Menu Bar Icons left of BTT Icon" feature. I foolishly made the toggle for the script into a custom menubar icon; and upon toggling the script, the BTT icon itself disappeared. After quitting BTT and reopening, the hidden state of the custom icons remains active (including the BTT icon), and since I’ve changed my settings so that BTT doesn’t open when clicking the application, there is now no way for me to access the configuration view. (In the past, I’ve clicked the menu icon and opened the configuration view from there). I found this post from a while back “https://community.folivora.ai/t/how-to-access-btt-settings-after-hiding-menu-bar-icon/20810” without any luck in terms of a solution. I’ve tried to open BTT in safe mode and looked into executing the same toggle script from the terminal without any luck. How should I go about solving this? Thank you in advance!
You can open the preferences using this apple script:
tell application "BetterTouchTool" to trigger_action "{BTTPredefinedActionType:105}"
Or run via terminal:
osascript -e "tell application \"BetterTouchTool\" to trigger_action \"{BTTPredefinedActionType:105}\""
Or to toggle the menu item hidden state:
tell application "BetterTouchTool" to trigger_action "{BTTPredefinedActionType: 265}"
Thank you very much! The toggle script did it for me.
You’ve created an amazing application, and your engagement in the community is incredible. Thank you once again Andreas!
