Hi, I’m Martin.
Most elaborate automation? Nothing too sophisticated. A few Keyboard Maestro and Better Touch Tool things for keyboard shortcuts and window positioning. I always bump up against Shortcuts and find it unreasonably difficult, I think because I’m a programmer and I’d rather type commands than select boxes from a list.
Anyway, long-time user of Marked, and glad to be here.
Oh, this is by no means fancy. This shortcut takes a picture of a printed receipt and saves it to the iCloud. Then it asks a couple of questions regarding the shop, the amount spent, the category and a general description. All this goes into a Numbers document (and a csv for backup). Part of it also goes into the file name of the receipt image. No character recognition, no special sorting – this just files the receipt. I take the picture in the store, enter the info and have everything stored before I left the shop.
BTW: Pasting using ⌘⌥⇧V will paste just the plain text on MacOS level independently of being located in a text input field where TextExpander is active.
There are times when that doesn’t work, or when paste itself is disabled. I use hyper-v to “paste” by typing the individual keystrokes of text on the clipboard, I think through Keyboard Maestro. Very useful sometimes
Yeah, that’s why I made Bunch :). Even the GUI of some of the more powerful automation apps can get tiresome for me…
Hi, my name is Carley, I’m not sure how to introduce myself. I’m an aspiring abstract fiber artist. I’m currently job hunting for an entry-level position in front-end development as I re-skilled over the pandemic. I’m currently unemployed, and I’m looking to build my portfolio by freelancing.
I’m a huge geek for a number of stuff, like podcasts and books. lately, I’ve been getting into pens and stationary as a hobby.
I’m a huge fan Brett’s, and I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you.
I didn’t realize you’d picked up front-end dev! Nice! I wish you the best of luck in finding a junior position, it’s a tough market out there.
Yeah, I went to my local technical college and learned it. It is a tough job market, I’ve been searching for about a year and a half. I’m thinking of trying to build up my portfolio by building websites for people, I just need to figure out how to find the people, lol.
Where’s the fun in that? 
I would check out https://www.alignable.com/. It’s supposed to be pretty good for finding local people who want your services.
Hey, I’m Herb Bowie, generally using the handle of hbowie.
Thanks for the invite!
I guess my most elaborate automation is my Mac app Notenik, which I use as a static website generator and… all sorts of other stuff.
In my free time (which is a lot, since I’m now retired from my day job), I continue to work on Notenik, and then write stuff for publication on one or more of my websites.
I live in Seattle, where we’ve been enjoying unseasonably warm weather until a day or two ago, when it suddenly turned cold: 34 degrees Fahrenheit on my back porch this morning.
Hi.
My name is Alex (also known as DitchComfort or ∀S∀ online).
I’m from Norway and love to dabble around with different apps and Apple devices, etc.
As a good Montrealers, or “Québécois”, I like snow very much … until I don’t 
and this come normally in February when you think snow will never end and your back hurt of shovelling to much of it. Hope for you it won’t be too bad for a first snow.
Would that be possible with SSH ~/.config as well?
Where’s that snippet when you need it?! Hi, i’m Dave and i’ve been doing Mac consulting work since the last century… my most complex automation? Hmm… not sure, but the most fun one I ever figured out is a shell script called ‘tab’, you copy a bunch of urls and then run it and it opens them one after the other.
!/bin/bash
pbpaste | tr "\r" "\n" | xargs -n 1 open
Asd for local automation on my Mac, I’m slowly learning Python, constant TextExpander user, Hazel user… but no new filters in there for a long time. My most recent addition is Rectangle for managing windows across my 2 screens.
… and impatiently waiting for nvUltra! (Still using nvALT)
Good question! I’d be curious about the same thing…
Hazel does things for me daily, but I haven’t added anything new for probably a year. Once it’s working, it just works :).
I’m really impressed with the turnout here! I would love for people to start up new conversations (topics), tap into community knowledge, or just shoot the sh*t about stuff that interests you and make new connections. This forum won’t go far if all of the conversations are limited to this particular thread 
.
Yep, you’re right, but for some reason that I haven’t been able to figure out, the UNIX hosts that don’t require that long string of commands would have issues connecting if I used it.
That’s why I just set it up as a TE Snippet and just used that when I couldn’t connect my “normal” way LOL.
