Problems with macros in Bookends 14.2.7

Post by vcaston »

I'm wondering if there's a setting I'm overlooking: I can't seem to get a macro from Keyboard Maestro to work in Bookends, which used to work.

If I test the macro from Keyboard Maestro is brings up the dialogue (in this case Refs > Global Change > Restore Default Font & Style…). But if I'm in Bookends, the keyboard shortcut (in this case ⌃⌥⌘P).

Similar macros using Keyboard Maestro are working with other apps.

Bookends 14.2.7, Keyboard Maestro 11.0.2, Mac OS 14.2

Many thanks.

I don't use Keyboard Maestro, but BetterTouchTool, and it is working when I reassign keyboard bindings and mouse gestures etc. to control Bookends 14.2.7 — so at least it is not a generic change.

I’m using two keyboard maestro macros without a problem. These macros I built to generate a bib file for LaTeX from a selected static folder.
