Describe a keyboard shortcut for a particular app in the description below and Automate will do the rest.
Built-in shortcut ctrl+h shows shortcuts active in the current app.
See below for examples. Changes take effect without restarting the flow.
Shortcuts consist of:
1) A key combination. Block 107 has key names.
2) A comma separated sequence of buttons to click, identified by one of the following:
- Text supports glob (*) matching and is case insensitive for English characters A-Z.
- Element id using the syntax id=element_id. Specify fully qualified IDs including the '@' prefix, or in the common case where the ID contains the package name prefix like
"@com.android.somepackage:id/someid", just provide "someid".
- To click by xpath instead, use the syntax xpath=xpath. No more than one button can be clicked when using this syntax.
- To click by xpath with an offset, use syntax xpathOffset=xoffset,yoffset,xpath. x and y offset are specified as ratios of the element height. Negative offsets are untested but should work.
This flow is logging intensive. Suggest disabling logging once it's up and running.
This flow is a work in progress. Syntax may change with future updates.
