How to best organize one's Triggers and Action Sequences and Floating Menus in BetterTouchTool to re-use those elements (especially Floating Menus)?

[Kirby]

The topic is important to me in general. Let’s look at a seemingly easy first case: I have two Floating Menus that contain triggers for Actions that I use frequently to process text.

I have 6 Triggers in BetterTouchTool that show them: 3 for each – 1 keyboard shortcut (“keychord”) and 2 Floating Menu Triggers on other Floating Menus. In all cases, I want the Floating Menus to be shown in the same location, and the mouse cursor to be moved to the center of the top-left Trigger in the Floating Menu. (In this case, I am positioning the Floating Menu’s upper right corner -8,-8 from the active window’s upper-right corner.)

What’s the most consolidated way to set this up?

Bonus: this should allow me to make a single change in either the Floating Menu position or the mouse cursor position and have it work that way no matter which Trigger is executed to show either of these two Floating Menus.

The Floating Menu position is set in Floating Menu configuration (“Visibility ▹ Position on Screen”), so there is nothing to change there: the position is determined by the Floating Menu itself.

Afaict, the position of the mouse cursor is independent of the position of the Floating Menu. It can be set with Actions in the same Action Sequence as the Action that shows the Floating Menu.

I have duplicated the Action that moves the mouse cursor to be over the middle of the upper-left Trigger in the just-shown Floating Menu and pasted it to each of the 6 Floating Menu Triggers that show one of these two other Floating Menus Action Sequences.

A less general way to ask this same question: is there a setting in the Floating Menu configuration to position the mouse cursor? Should there be?

Currently the "Move Mouse" action doesn't have a way to move based on floating menu items. However for your usecase you can do it like this.

1.) Create a reusable named trigger and assign the show floating menu action and a mouse move action that moves relative to the top right corner of the active window:

2.) Use that named trigger in your keyboard shortcut and floating menu triggers:

TY! I understand.

1. I will fold all used-more-than-once Action Sequences into Named Triggers and execute them as needed by adding a new Trigger with the assigned Action “Trigger Named Trigger” configured to use the Named Trigger that contains the Action Sequence I want.
2. I will position the mouse cursor and the Floating Menu relative to a usable reference point such as an active window’s corner, etc.

Each of those extends my BetterTouchTool reach in many directions.
