This Wiki page receives the redirect for a number or windows related tokens:
Each of these text tokens return information about the specified window.
Each one takes a parameter indicating which window to use. The parameter is the value after the percent sign of the main token.
For example:
%TokenName%TokenParameter%
%WindowFrame%1%
The parameter may be:
So for example, %WindowFrame%1% gives the frame of the front window.
The Front variants are older versions that are equivalent to using Front as the parameter.
Like all coordinates in Keyboard Maestro, the WindowPosition and WindowFrame are from the top left corner of the main screen (the defined one with the menu bar on it, although this is less apparent now that the menu bar is on all monitors).
The %WindowFrame%
tokens returns the location of the window in pixels of left, top, width, and height of the window in a comma-delimited numerical string.
%FrontWindowFrame%
is a synonym for %WindowFrame%Front%
and may be used interchangeably.
Example Return of these tokens:
228,23,1314,1173 left,top,width,height
The %WindowPosition%
tokens returns the location of the window in pixels of left and top of the window in a comma-delimited numerical string.
%FrontWindowPosition%
is a synonym for %WindowPosition%Front%
and may be used interchangeably.
Example Return of these tokens:
228,23 left,top
The %WindowSize%
tokens returns the size of the window in pixels of width and height of the window in a comma-delimited numerical string.
%FrontWindowSize%
is a synonym for %WindowSize%Front%
and may be used interchangeably.
Example Return of these tokens:
1314,1173 width,height
When a Window or screen token returns a set of 4 comma-delimited values as one result into a Keyboard Maestro Variable (which is always text), you can access the individual values, and calculate other values, by using certain key words appended to the Variable name in a Calculate Token, such as the following:
This produces the following results, in the Display Action:
Window Frame: 2810,66,1281,1049 Left: 2810 Top: 66 Width: 1281 Height: 1049 Right: 4091 Bottom: 1115 MidX: 3450.5 MidY: 590.5
For WindowPosition, you can use Left and Top, and for WindowSize you can use Width and Height.
