| - | ===== Execute Script Other Apps ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | When you execute a shell script from other apps, like Terminal.app, the shell does NOT have access to the Keyboard Maestro Engine environment, and thus does NOT know anything about Keyboard Maestro Variables. | ||
| - | |||
| - | In order to access Keyboard Maestro Variables in these scripts, you must use a tool like [[https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/osascript.1.html|osascript]]: | ||

| - | <code> | ||
| - | osascript -e 'tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine" to get value of variable "MY_KM_Var"' | ||
