Make Keyboard Maestro UI Actions Reliable
- Use Keyboard Maestro's Press Button action to reliably toggle controls by name instead of image clicking.
- Turn on keyboard navigation or add pauses to make UI automation more robust when interacting with dialogs.
UI Labels Can Be Actionable Controls
- Checkboxes and many UI labels may actually be accessible buttons with developer-given names you can call directly.
- VoiceOver lets you hear control names so you can pass the exact label into Keyboard Maestro actions.
