I've been demoing Batch Commander and I really, really like it. I've ported over many of my most used Keyboard Maestro macros. One that I can't get to work involves switching programs and firing keys in another program.
Here's what I'd like to do. I'd like to copy the current timecode position in Pro Tools and then switch over to excel and paste it into a cell, move down a row and switch back to Pro Tools. The I'd like to do the opposite where Excel is the source and Pro Tools is the destination. I use this all the time for making ADR, Foley, VO or any type of cue sheet I need. Then when I'm ready to record I can simply work my way through the list.
I've not find a way to do this as when I try to enter the command "command+tab" to switch over to Excel. When I try to enter it in BC it fires off the key command in the OS rather than adding it to the macro. Is it possible to do anything like this? My work around has been to just assign a button to a Hot Key that in turn fires of my Keyboard Maestro shortcut.
