I do a lot of misc. little one-off “here’s how to do _____” screenshots, and I need to be able to quickly share them with a customer. Most of these people don’t have iCloud, and I’ve previously been using Dropbox - but I cancelled my super-size Dropbox package recently, so I’m trying to use iCloud.
I like the Dropbox-style sharing (“anybody who has the link can view”), so currently I:
Create the file
Right-click the file
Pick “Add People”
Share Options -> Who Can Access -> “Anyone with the link”
Share Options -> Permission -> “View only”
Pick “Copy Link”
That’s a lot of steps that would be nice to be able to automate. Or even being able to set the “Share Options” defaults to what I pretty much always use would be awesome.
I have Keyboard Maestro available already, if that helps.
The popup window is a Keyboard Maestro macro group, also called conflict palette, which I created for all apps with individual actions.
Similar to the macOS context menu, but with more functions.
Since I work a lot with the mouse and trackpad and can’t/won’t remember dozens of shortcuts, I call up the Keyboard Maestro palette with a BetterTouchTool gesture.
This always appears directly at the cursor.
This video is an example of how I can access various templates and presets in ScreenFlow quickly and efficiently.
