![]() Pull up your macOS System Preferences and click on Keyboard. ![]() It’ll cost you a little functionality, but at least your tiny loved ones (including your pets) won’t accidentally zap you out of a call when they start keyboard-mashing. How to get the Touch Bar to remain staticįirst of all, if someone kept on messing with my Touch Bar and screwing up whatever I was doing in the various apps I use, there’s one fix I’d turn to above any others. ![]() Cute as that might be, he wanted to know if there was any way to get his son to stop doing that (any technological method, that is).Īs it turns out, you have a handful of options to address issues like this, up to and including “disabling” your entire Touch Bar. So now I do the extra clicking or 'go manual' and remain peaceful, highly appreciative, and very thankful for these amazing tools and people.Lifehacker Managing Editor Joel Cunningham had a quirky quarantine-inspired question the other day: His three-year-old keeps on mashing the brightly coloured buttons on his MacBook’s Touch Bar, prematurely ending his participation in various video chats. I imagine there are actually traceable actions that, when revealed, would have the results make complete sense AND that that level of forensics will remain way above my current or future pay grade.Īfter much reading and time, I've returned and hold to something Peter has modeled/said that in my interpretation means for the most part keep things short and simple unless you actually enjoy doing battle with the monsters in the swamp at the bottom of the valley of shadows. I've stopped doing that (with this exception). and asking questions until I'm sure I've badly tired the patients of the very good and generous people here. Sometimes the first firing does nothing, the second time resizes the window and a third time moves the resized window.įor awhile I kept running into the wall with tweaking/restarting/reinstalling/etc. Sometimes it happens with one triggering. So net result is it looks like Shortcuts is misbehaving and who knows what eventually convinced it to work properly. So then I tried the macro again, and now it was working and displays the results in the window as it should. But that's exactly what Keyboard Maestro does. Then I tried: shortcuts run "Get Current Weather" | bbeditĪnd that worked too. So then I tried shortcuts run -o - "Get Current Weather" | bbeditĪnd that worked. So then I tried: shortcuts run -o temp.output "Get Current Weather"Īnd inexplicably that worked and created the temp.output with the current temperature, a lovely winter day of “22☌ and Partly Cloudy”. Or maybe it too was not getting anything. ![]() And that didn't output anything, but possibly because the text ends in a carriage return which then makes the prompt overwrite it. (which is more or less exactly what Keyboard Maestro does). So then I ran the Terminal command: shortcuts run "Get Current Weather" I recreated it here, and firstly had endless trouble getting Shortcuts and the system Location security permissions to agree that it had permission to get the location, but eventually got it running.Īnd then it was behaving the same, when run from Keyboard Maestro it did not display any output.
