Similarly, tell application "Mail" to get mailboxes of account "iCloud" will give you a list of all mailboxes in a specified account. Tip: If you’re unsure what your accounts are named, simply open Script Editor and paste in tell application "Mail" to get accounts. View raw Move_Messages.scpt hosted with ❤ by GitHub Remember to adapt it to suit your particular needs: on line 7, change App Testing to your desired mailbox and iCloud to your account name (Gmail, Personal, Work etc.). Finally paste in the following script.Leave Execute Text Script as is and change ignore results to display results briefly.Click New Action, from the panel that appears, click on Execute and then double click Execute and AppleScript.Since it’s possible to click on a macro inside the palette, this step is optional, however I strongly advise it. Click New Trigger and add a Hot key trigger.By simply prefixing the name with 2 digits and a closing bracket such as 00), Keyboard Maestro will hide the numbers, but still use them to sort your macros. Fortunately, there is a small trick that will allow you to manually sort your actions. Press ⌘N (or click the + in the bottom middle) and give it a name. Note that the name you choose is important since Keyboard Maestro will sort your macros in alphabetical order.Now that you have your macro group created, it’s time to populate it with macros. Finally assign the desired keyboard shortcut (I went with ⇧⌘E). Click Always Activated and choose Show a palette for one action when.This will ensure the palette only displays when Mail.app is active

Keyboard Maestro may seem daunting at first, but once you get a grasp for its mechanics, bending your Mac to your will becomes child’s play.
#KEYBOARD MAESTRO MACBOOK HOW TO#
This tip in itself is a huge timesaver, but one reader wanted to take things a little further and asked how to use a keyboard shortcut to move messages to specific mailboxes and not only the archive.Īfter better understanding the requirements, the answer was obvious to me - use Keyboard Maestro, a premiere Mac automation tool.

You can also send selected clippings to another Mac that has KM installed, but I’ll cover that in another tutorial.A while back, we published a short tutorial showing how to archive mail with a keyboard shortcut.
Starred clippings will remain in the history. Notice you can also star individual clippings as favorites. With the Clipboard History Switcher, you can of course paste individual clippings into any application. If you don’t find it in the Clipboard Macros folder, just do a search for it in KM. The name of the macro is Activate Clipboard History Switcher. If you find that keyboard shortcut a little awkward, you can change the hot key assigned to it. The keyboard shortcut Command-Control-Shift-V will bring up the switcher. The screenshot below shows KM’s Clipboard History Switcher. You will need to enable it in Preferences > General > Save Clipboard History. (Note: the Saved Clipboard History is not by default enabled in KM. But with Keyboard Maestro, it saves a copy of each new clipping you make. Each time you copy something new on your Mac, it replaces the previous copied item on the clipboard. KM however can save a history of everything you copy on your Mac, whereas the Mac’s clipboard only saves one clipping at a time. Just as your Mac has a system wide clipboard, Keyboard Maestro also has global clipboards. Here’s an introduction to Keyboard Maestro, if you’re new to the program.)
(Note: this article reposted from my old MacAutomationTips blog site. But first I’m going to briefly describe the difference between the Mac’s system wide clipboard, and the basic clipboard feature in Keyboard Maestro. This tutorial is about Named Clipboards in Keyboard Maestro.
