Hot Key Cheat Sheet?

I'm loving BTT and currently using it to run AppleScripts that trigger Keyboard Maestro macros.

I'm using BTT Keyboard Shortcut triggers because, unlike Keyboard Maestro Hot Keys, they can be configured to differentiate left/right modifier keys.

Since I've created many action/trigger combinations, I'm now in need of a cheat sheet.

Is there a way to get a table of the BTT actions that are triggered with BTT Keyboard Shortcuts? KeyCue does a very nice job displaying the Hot Key triggers for Keyboard Maestro, but unfortunately this third-party app does not do the same for BTT Keyboard Shortcuts.

I did open the BTT AppleScript Dictionary and poked around, but I could not figure out a way to:

  • list the BTT actions that include Keyboard Shortcut triggers (constrained for the Keyboard Maestro app and within Preset:Default), or

  • open the BTT gui to the section where these actions are defined (constrained as aforementioned).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions that you might have.

Getting a list of the triggers would be possible using the get_triggers script call, however there is currently no way to open the UI with a specific trigger selected.

I'm have planned something like "CheatSheet" (CheatSheet - Know your shortcuts) but I have not yet started working on it.

Wow, that was quick. Thanks, @Andreas_Hegenberg!

Yes, this is what I created; but is there a way to add the two other constraints I mentioned: Keyboard Maestro app and within Preset:Default?

tell application "BetterTouchTool"
	set result_Text to get_triggers trigger_type "BTTTriggerTypeKeyboardShortcut"
end tell

(Aside: Based on the appearance of the above, it seems that the Discourse feature that provides syntax highlighting for AppleScript code has not enabled.)

I'm not surprised, but I thought it was worth asking. I'm spoiled by Keyboard Maestro; many features of the KM editor can be scripted.

Great! I specifically purchased KeyCue because it includes the feature to display Keyboard Maestro Hot Keys.


Thanks again, @Andreas_Hegenberg! BTT is incredible.

Hi @jim-sauer Not exactly what you want, just a option. I know you're a KM expert, so I'll limit what I say to a minimum.. :slightly_smiling_face:

Depending on what exactly you want to do, you can use a KM palette as a "cheat sheet". eg. press and hold right cmd, a KM palette opens and shows you all the macros that can be executed with right cmd + letter, app specific or global. The macro could then be triggered either with BTT or with KM. When you release right cmd the KM palette disappears again.

This way each left and right modifier can be differentiated to trigger different macros (and you have a cheat sheet). But it requires a permanent interaction of KM and BTT, which is not really complicated, but maybe you don't want that. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, @Frank1. Thanks so much for the suggestion. I had thought of something similar but dismissed the idea (temporarily) as I was seeking a tool like CheatSheet or KeyCue. I've also put a bug in the ear of ergonis, the developers of KeyCue, since I'm a licensed user (as I am with BTT, although via Setapp).

Your kind suggestion, @Frank1, has me revisiting this idea and now I'm thinking :thinking::

For BTT-triggered KM macros, the pros and cons of:

  • one palette for all, or
  • one palette for each right-modifier.

I could create one or more KM groups that include simple macros that have two purposes:

  • The name could be the Hot Key guide, e.g.,
    ⌥M Magenta
  • They include the actions for two simple options:
    • if clicked, run the target macro, or
    • if clicked with ⌥ and/or ⌘ down, open the macro in the KM editor.

So far, I have these macros trigger in BTT by right-modifiers. (At this point they are all related to automating the Keyboard Maestro editor.):

  • ⌥A Aqua
  • ⌥E Engroup (Group)
  • ⌥F Select 1st Action
  • ⌥G Green
  • ⌥L Select Last Action
  • ⌥M Magenta
  • ⌥N (none)
  • ⌥O Orange
  • ⌥P Purple
  • ⌥R Red
  • ⌥T Teal
  • ⌥Y Yellow
  • ⌘E Enable/Disable
  • ⌘F Go to Macro by Name
  • ⌘G Move Macro to a Group
  • ⌘H Header Comment Builder
  • ⌘L Macro Two-variant MD Link to Clipboard
  • ⌘N Navigate to Configured Macro or Subroutine
  • ⌘S Sort Macro Conditionally
  • ⌘T Try Action
  • ⌘V Paste Above
  • ⌥⌘F Search All Macros

This will take a little time to set up, but in the end it will be worth it. Thanks again, @Frank1.

This looks interesting and you've given me some new ideas. Thanks a lot for that. :+1: But I will wait a bit more, because:

BTT is getting new floating menus very soon that will be similar to the KM palettes, maybe even more powerful. Andreas already has an (alpha) version on his Mac. Whether that is relevant to your project, I don't know. If you mainly trigger KM macros, then maybe not. But you might want to wait a bit until you can judge it better.

By the way, good to know: If you already use a shortcut in KM, say ⌘6, then this trigger with left ⌘ will remain if you use right ⌘6 for something else in BTT. This can be very useful because you don't have to change the KM shortcuts.

This is a question I have asked myself as well. Currently I do it like this. I have a global palette and additional app specific palettes that are only shown when the right app is in front. So there are always two different palettes open. I have discarded the idea of a global macro palette after a few attempts. I will think about your approach. :smiley:

Thanks for the heads-up on that.

Thanks. I assumed this was the case, but I'm not sure I I had tested it yet. Now I don't have to. :grinning:

Just a quick demo of what is already possible with existing functionality (might require current alpha version). Maybe useful as reference.

Putting this into a floating webview action, will list all of the shortcuts and their actions like this:


It could easily be styled with some CSS.

<html>
  <head>
    <script>
     async function BTTWindowWillBecomeVisible() {
        console.log("loading triggers");
        const allKeyboardShortcutsJSONString = await callBTT("get_triggers", {
          trigger_type: "BTTTriggerTypeKeyboardShortcut",
        });
        const allTriggersJSONArray = JSON.parse(allKeyboardShortcutsJSONString);
        let allKeyboardShortcuts = "";
        for (const trigger of allTriggersJSONArray) {
          if (trigger.BTTShortcutModifierKeys) {
            const shortcut = `<div><span><b>${
              trigger?.BTTTriggerConfig?.BTTLeftRightModifierDifferentiation

If you get triggers via the get_triggers call they will also have a property BTTTriggerBelongsToPreset, so you could filter the list by preset. To filter by app you'd add the trigger_app_bundle_identifier filter ( Using Apple Script or JXA · GitBook (folivora.ai) )

It would also be easy to make the items clickable to trigger the action or you could make it always show the shortcuts for the active application.

Hi, @Andreas_Hegenberg. Thanks so much for the reply!

This looks very powerful and promising!

I suspect it does as did a quick test with the code you provided. (I'm using BTT v4.062 [Setapp].)

  1. In Preset: Default, All Apps I created a Keyboard Shortcut trigger with the action: Show Floating WebView: Show KM Hotkeys.

  2. In the HTML/Content>Instead of a URL Path you..., I pasted your code.

When using the Keyboard Shortcut to trigger, Safari moved to the foreground, but nothing appeared.

Maybe I'm missing something, or as you suspected, the latest alpha is required. Since I'm using the Setapp version, I don't think I have access to other versions. If I purchase a standalone license of BTT, is there anything I'd need to do to maintain my current BTT configuration?

Thanks again for the information, @Andreas_Hegenberg. I'm fairly adept with Keyboard Maestro, but very green with BTT. I do look forward to learning more!

Hi, @Frank1. This is what I've worked out so far.

Since this mostly pertains to Keyboard Maestro, when I get some extra time, I'll create a tutorial post at Keyboard Maestro Forum>Tips and Tutorials and then post a link to it in this thread.

Hi @jim-sauer :slightly_smiling_face:

What palette did you choose? These all seem to be macros for the KM editor, so app specific? Does the palette appear when you hold down a modifier on the right side (of the spacebar)? Do you use a key sequence in BTT to trigger the action "Show Macro Group / show palette" in KM?

While testing something else I improved the HTML posted above a little bit.

It's now functional (clicking one of the items triggers the action)

Could be a good starting point for others, but requires btt > 4.063, should be on Setapp soon.

Great !

I have modified this one line...
over here I have a lot of disabled triggers and separator lines...otherwise
Thx,
Christian

for (const trigger of allTriggersJSONArray) {
if (trigger.BTTShortcutModifierKeys > 0) {

Yep in my version it just outputs all shortcuts. You can also only include triggers with trigger.BTTEnabled === 1 to exclude disabled ones.

I may not understand anything about it, but what's the difference in doing the same thing with the Stream Deck Emulator, only much easier from my point of view.

What I posted will automatically retrieve your currently configured shortcuts. With the stream deck emulator you'd need to set every shortcut up manually.

With some additions you could e.g. make it always show the currently configured shortcuts for the active app.

Ah, ok, it will find the BTT shortcuts that trigger the KM macros, speaking from @jim-sauer's point of view.

Exactly. (Although to only show the KM shortcuts you'd need to adapt the get_triggers query like this:

   const allKeyboardShortcutsJSONString = await callBTT("get_triggers", {
          trigger_type: "BTTTriggerTypeKeyboardShortcut",
trigger_app_bundle_identifier: "com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine"
        });

(not sure about the bundle identifier!). Or if they are not assigned to keyboard maestro in BTT, you'd need to add some other identifier that you could use for filtering e.g. into the notes field.

If this works, many KM users will be very happy ... if they also use BTT. But since I am mainly a BTT user, I am much more interested in the new floating menus.

Thx Andreas,
that is what I was looking for !

I have now some issue with long/short keyboard triggers, which are listed somehow multiple times.I want basically select only active keyboard triggers including description/notes like these:

here there are multiple times...
