Using external macro program to acess effects
A user wanted to one-click access to effects he used frequently - ideally through a popup menu.
I suggested this could be done on Windows with macro programs such as AutoHotKey (open source), PowerPro (freeware) and other paid-for Macro programs (eg. RoboTask). Googling Macro+MAC+OS+X turns up such programs as QuickKeys (paid-for), Keyboard Maestro, Key Xing and Youpi Key (caveat: I have no Mac experience). Another possible solution is Apple's UI Scripting (requires user to have detailed UI knowledge), which problem can be overcome with the UIBrowser Assistant .
That's the theory - in practice I haven't yet been able to create a script that will do the job. I'm pursuing this, initially with AutoHotKey and will update this when I have a working example. --Alec Burgess 16:24, 29 September 2007 (PDT)
