Lately, I have been thinking about how I could accelerate my workflow, both in terms of working faster and working more efficiently. We spend so much time in our Macs, but we spent little energy thinking about how we can reduce friction during use.
I will skip the simple things how to use Evernote, reach the zero entrance tray and use an adequate task management application. Those are well known and quite well documented.
I’m talking about Creation of custom keyboard commands and gestures.
And before stopping reading and starting to roll your eyes, let me promise that it is not A waste of time.
Keep in mind that I have no financial interest in pressing it to use this application. It is something that I have been playing for a long time. I do not know the developer personally, but from his blog it seems that he works in him only full time.
Better Touch Tool allows you to assign custom -key commands and gestures to an action of your choice.
Using the application is completely simple.
1. Specify the gesture command / trackpad keyboard
There is a complete list of options available in the application.
For example, you can specify a touch of four fingers to open a specific application.
2. Enter the desired result
For example, Cmd + t Open a new tab in most applications.
3. Specify whether the shortcut is global or specific to the application
For example, you want your gestures to work only in Safari, not to fix.
