And if you don’t care about the button changing color, you can avoid Keyboard Maestro and just run the Shortcut directly via the Shortcuts by Sentinelite Stream Deck plug-in. That’s it! You can create much more complicated automations-as I wrote about last week, my Incomparable automation features three separate states that you move through via button press-but simple ones are possible too. Then based on the contents of that variable, the Keyboard Maestro macro either assigns an icon indicating that recording has been turned on, or that it’s been turned off. All this Macro does is run my Shortcut, which is titled “AH Toggle Lossless”, and save the results-namely, the shortcut’s output, which it’s getting from Audio Hijack-to a variable. The macro is executed by a Keyboard Maestro action on the Stream Deck, on a button with a particular ID-in my case, its R2C3, but it can be just about anything. This is what Keyboard Maestro will use to do its thing. Operate SmartSDR for Windows from your Maestro control surface. In either case, the shorcut then uses the new “stop and output” feature of Shortcuts to output that same result. Otherwise, the session is running, and the shortcut turns it back off.

R1C5: Run my Turn on the office shortcut. There’s a single line of JavaScript that determines if my session, “Podcast lossless,” is running: return (app.sessionWithName('Podcast lossless').running) So to make this automation work, I have to create a shortcut, and then run that shortcut from within Keyboard Maestro. I wish it didn’t, but (at least for now) the only way to control the appearance of a Stream Deck button via automation tool involves Keyboard Maestro. ![]() I had several people ask me about a simple automation I created, which generates a single button on a Stream Deck that toggles recording on and off and changes its display based on recording status. Last week Audio Hijack 4 arrived, and was I excited about its automation features.
