Chris BaileyHOST
I think I mentioned this on Mac Power Users at one point.
David SparksHOST
Yeah, you have a keyboard maestro script.
David SparksHOST
Yes, yes.
Chris BaileyHOST
So
Chris BaileyHOST
There's a type, whether it's work or personal, it's where I'm going to.
Chris BaileyHOST
And that informs the file that is created and the city that I'm going to as well.
Chris BaileyHOST
And so what this does is I put in those inputs, and Keyboard Maestro takes all that, and it produces a text edit file, which is the greatest text editing application ever created, as everybody knows, besides SimpleNote, of course.
Chris BaileyHOST
And in that, it says, okay, you're gone three days? Here, let me put four days of socks for you.
David SparksHOST
Yeah.
David SparksHOST
You, you have a Keyboard Maestro script you, like-
Chris BaileyHOST
Yes, yes
David SparksHOST
... yeah.
David SparksHOST
Yeah.
Chris BaileyHOST
Um, and that, that informs the file that is created, and the city that I'm going to as well.
Chris BaileyHOST
And so what this does is I put in those, uh, i- inputs, and Keyboard Maestro ta- takes all that, beep, boop, burp, padup, padup, and it produces a text edit file, which is the greatest, uh, text editing application ever created, as everybody knows.
David SparksHOST
Yeah.
Stephen RoblesHOST

David SparksHOST
Next, Keyboard Maestro.
Stephen RoblesHOST
Oh my goodness.
David SparksHOST
Hmm, I guess that's what we have to do with you next, Mr. Robles.
39 MINS LATER
David SparksHOST
I can put that on my checklist.
David SparksHOST
Stephen Robles, naps.
Stephen RoblesHOST
[laughs] Right after Keyboard Maestro-
David SparksHOST
Yeah
Stephen RoblesHOST
[laughs]
David SparksHOST
Next, Keyboard Maestro.
Stephen RoblesHOST
Oh my goodness.
David SparksHOST
Hmm, I guess that's what we have to do with you next, Mr. Robles.
39 MINS LATER
Stephen RoblesHOST

David SparksHOST
... naps.
Stephen RoblesHOST
Right after Keyboard Maestro-
David SparksHOST
Yeah
Adam EngstGUEST
talking to you and you say, stop listening.
Adam EngstGUEST
So this proves to be almost entirely impossible, even with things like Keyboard Maestro.
Adam EngstGUEST
People have been trying to do this for years.
Adam EngstGUEST
Really? And because the best they've come up with is being able to literally monkey through clicking on the button and choosing the stop listening command.
Adam EngstGUEST
Okay.
Adam EngstGUEST
But to do that, the only way it can figure out how to do it is to use accessibility routines to drop that menu and select.
Adam EngstGUEST
So it's not as brittle as Keyboard Maestro, at least back when people were testing this, because it's not like literally trying to click at a spot and then select.
Adam EngstGUEST
But you can still see the flash of the menu come down at the moment.
