Time Trigger for Touchbar Button

[Kekks]

Hey guys,

is there an easy way to set up an time triggered touch bar button?

I want a Group to be automaticly closed after 5 or 10 seconds... so that you don't have to press the close button and end up on the "main page" of the touch bar.

Step by step would be great.

Best regards
Dominik

I tried attached actions on the initial button that opens the group:

1. Open Touch Bar Group
2. Delay next action by 5 secs
3. Close currently open Touch Bar group

But unfortunately this didn't work.
You could try an additional action for each button in the group. So the main action would be to do what ever action you planned for it, and automatically close the Touch Bar group.

Auto-closing Touch Bar Groups

I have a couple of Touch Bar Groups that show merely informative information. Sometimes I forget to close one of these groups after I've opened it, which means the next time I need something on the Touch Bar I have to close the group first. How annoying! Recently, though, I've figured out a way to auto-close these informative groups. Instead of showing the button to open a group, we're going to hide that button and use another button with the action "Open Touch Bar Group With Name". Why? Beca…
