Is there a simple way to repeat an Action-sequence while holding the mouse down on a Trigger?
This five-year-old post on this community forum refers to BetterTouchTool controls and tabs I can't find.
This Redditer came up with a complex way: make a loop and break it when there is a Mouse-up (Reddit)
I am making a Floating Menu that moves the playhead in various video players, including, important to me, Lightroom Classic. I have Action-sequences¹ that move the playhead 1 frame, 10 frames, 1 second, 10 seconds, 100 seconds — I want to press and hold a Trigger to move the playhead 1 frame every 0.4 seconds.
Lightroom Classic has no keychord for moving the playhead one frame. You must click an on-screen control. I have saved the location of that control. I want to click it every 0.4 seconds from when I click-down on a Floating Menu Trigger until I release the click-down.
¹ Is there a BetterTouchTool name for the sequence of Actions executed when a Trigger is fired?
If case it makes a difference, I am using a trackpad (both built into my MacBook Pro and an Apple Magic Trackpad) to move and perform clicks and other actions with the mouse cursor.
Yes please! Can you recommend any work-around? I can think of some ways to get some of the functionality, but none to get the simple-seeming "repeat Action-sequence every x seconds until".
Thanks for the quick and helpful responses. It feels like it doesn't mean enough to say, "They mean a lot to me". They do.
There is a subtlety I'd like to remove, tho. To make it work, I have to click-and-release the trackpad while keeping my finger on the trackpad (click, release, touch, un-touch). What my muscle-memory wants is to click-and-hold the trackpad (click, release by un-touching).
