Why using Keyboard Maestro if you do it all in AppleScript? :)
It's very easy to do in "pure KM":
- If condition met execute action
all of the following are true
the front window
title is
"Scratchpad"
execute the following actions:
- type the cmd-w keystroke
- use variable "FrontApp"
to set the front application by name
otherwise execute the following actions
- set variable "FrontApp"
to %CurrentApplication%
- activate BBEdit.app
- pause until condition met
all of the following are true
a menu
with this name
Show Scratchpad
is enabled
- select a menu item
in BBEdit.app
Menu title "Window"
Menu item "Show Scratchpad"
Assign it a hot key and you're done.
All the best,
Philippe
