Stairways Software releases Keyboard Maestro 3.4

222
Stairways Software Pty Ltd i announces Keyboard Maestro 3.4, the new version of its powerful productivity enhancer for Mac OS X.

This release adds a Typed String trigger so you can fire off macros when you type a matching string (optionally deleted before executing the macro). This opens a whole range of new macro triggers allowing you to create triggers with easily remembered mnemonics.

We have also improved the appearance of the powerful Program and Windows switchers to look similar to the more limited default system program switcher.

This release enhances the import/export of Named Clipboard to allow better sharing of macros.

A number of other enhancements and bug fixes as documented below are also included.

Using Keyboard Maestro's macros you can control and enhance applications; control windows or menus; insert text; open documents, applications or URLs; execute scripts; control the system or iTunes; and more, all with the touch of a key, click of the mouse, periodically or at specific times, when an application is launched or running, or even over the Internet using Keyboard Maestro's built in web server.

Using Keyboard Maestro's Program Switcher and Window Switcher you can cycle through applications or windows, closing, hiding, launching, and more. Keyboard Maestro can help you regain control of your crowded screen by letting you close or hide multiple windows or applications.

Using Keyboard Maestro's Clipboard Switcher, you can select from a number of named clipboards, storing information away for later retrieval. Store the details you are working on and access them by name again and again.

Using Keyboard Maestro's Clipboard History Switcher, you can access past clipboards, so you will never lose your clipboard again. It also makes it easy to copy and paste multiple items such as username and password or serial number without having to switch back and forth between applications for each item.
