You could make a toggle switch with applescript and BTT variables.

So far for me, my toggle switchs are working pretty well over at [AquaTiuch](https://community.folivora.ai/t/b3-0-2-aquatouch-supports-35-apps-and-websites-and-the-native-touchbar-no-compromises/1704)

I’m not using a three-function toggle, but here’s how it would look like in pseudocode:

start script

(makes the variable and sets it if it doesn’t exist)  
if ThisTriggerState is missing value  
set persistent BTT variable “ThisTriggerState” to 1  
end if

if state is 1  
do named trigger 1  
set “ThisTriggerState” to 2  
exit

else if state is 2  
do named trigger 2  
set “ThisTriggerState” to 3  
exit

else if state is 3  
do named trigger 3  
set “ThisTriggerState” to 1  
exit

end if  
end script
