Keyboard Maestro Date Formatting
Simple conversion guide on using the Date format for those more familiar with Text Expander
Last week Keyboard Maestro was upgraded to version 8. It's packed with a lot of features, and I thought it would be time to do a change up and switch from TextExpander 5.1.4 to Keyboard Maestro.
I have been moving a lot of my TextExpander Snippets to Keyboard Maestro's Macros. It's been a slow transition as it's a bit hard to get used to Keyboard Maestro's interface. It's complicated for a reason - they're so much more you can do using Keyboard Maestro.
