Toggle BTT on amd off?

Discussion & Questions

Does anyone know of a way to toggle BTT on and off?

I'm asking as I have just started trying to use my wacom tablet across the whole OS and not just for Photoshop - RSI concerns - and it seems the scroll function on the pen/tablet is conflicting with BTT, so that I can use my pen to scroll down a page but not to scroll up.

If I disable BTT it works perfectly.

A simple toggle on/off would be great, that I could either associate to Alfred, Keyboard Maestro or my Streamdeck.

Anyone have any idea how to do that?

Many Thanks!

There is a predefined action “activate/deactivate BTT” but unfortunately it does not work for me. Maybe this is a bug.

The same effect has “quit BTT”. You would then have to restart BTT with another app such as Keyboard Maestro.

the problem is: once BTT is disabled it will not recognize the triggers to trigger that action anymore :sweat_smile:

I can't leave BTT "half" enabled because then it could still cause side effects. However if BTT is deactivated it's scripting interfaces are still active. So you could trigger the enable/disable action via Apple Script like this:

tell application "BetterTouchTool" to trigger_action "{BTTPredefinedActionType: 101}"

(101 is the id of the enable/disable action)

You can trigger that e.g. via the shortcuts app or save the apple script as app.
