- | ====== What is Keyboard Maestro? ====== | ||
- | FIXME -- This is just a first draft. Needs review & input by Peter and other editors. | ||
- | * An extremely powerful, but easy-to-use, automation/integration/prototyping tool that runs on Mac OS X | ||
- | * Very useful for both non-programmers and power users who are uncomfortable/comfortable with almost any scripting | ||
- | * Allows you to easily create [Macros](/manual/Macros), a list of [Actions](/manual/Macro_Actions), that can be [triggered by a wide variety of events](https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/Triggers), like | ||
- | * hotkeys, | ||
- | * typed string (text expansion), | ||
- | * app startup/shutdown | ||
- | * login | ||
- | * Status Menu in the Apple menu bar | ||
- | * scripts | ||
- | * and [many, many more](https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/Triggers). | ||
- | * For non-programmers, Macros can be easily built using drag/drop of Actions. | ||
- | * Power users can combine the ease of drag/drop orthogonal actions with [powerful integrated scripting](/manual/Scripting) using AppleScript, JXA, Shell Scripts, JavaScript, Python, Swift Scripts, and Automator Workflows. | ||
- | * One of the best supported Mac apps available today | ||
- | * Extensive help is readily available in the [Keyboard Maestro Forum](https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/) | ||
- | * The very few bugs that are found are fixed quickly | ||
- | * Each major release has provided an incredible number of useful new features. See [Version 7](/manual/Whats_New) for example. | ||
