Keyboard Maestro
Conduct your Mac Like a Pro!
To configure Keyboard Maestro, first launch Keyboard Maestro and click the Preferences tab to select the Preferences window pane.
In the Preferences window pane you can:
The web server is disabled by default.
If the web server is enabled, then anyone who can connect to your Mac can access any Public Web triggered macros.
If the web server is enabled, and if you have configured a username and password, then anyone who can connect to your Mac and login with the specified username and password can access any of your macros.
You can configure custom styles using the defaults write command to add a custom style, for example:
defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.editor WebServerCustomStyles -string 'body { background: green; }'
This might be useful if you are controlling multiple Macs and want to more clearly differentiate them.
You can configure the icon size for the Macro Palette using:
defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine macroPalette IconSize -int 32
You can go back to the pre-3.1 behaviour of restoring the clipboard after actions like Insert Text and Use Namded Clipboard by enabling this option:
defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine PreserveOldClipboard -bool YES
Keyboard Maestro keeps your clipboard history, but by default it is not saved, so any time Keyboard Maestro Engine is quit or launched (which happens every time you launch Keyboard Maestro) your history is lost. You can enable saving the clipboard history by:
defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine SaveClipboardHistory -bool YES
Keep in mind that you may copy confidential items like passwords which will then be saved in the Keyboard Maestro Clipboard History.plist.
You can also set the maximum number of items in the clipboard history with:
defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine MaxClipboardHistory -int 100
