use hammerspoon[0] if you are so dead set on making this edgecase work. on the whole the system is quite flexible.
there's also applescript that can do a lot of other things too. I dislike the language but it's fairly powerful too.

- eviks 3y agoI'm not dead set, that's why I wouldn't waste time on writing a "this can take a little while to complete, because quite a large number of round trips are required to the source application, to get the information" in another bad language when it's much simpler to use Karabiner to send the offending keybind By the way, what would I do with this menu info, is there another function to permanently rebind a given menu item? I was just pointing a few fundamental flaws in this "surprisingly powerful" system
- weaksauce 3y agoyou can write a hammerspoon script that will intercept some hotkey you want to use for that menu item and select it yes.
- eviks 3y agoI don't get it, this is much worse vs a direct rebind, which is instant Also, this brings confusion between the key shown in the menu and the key that is used to activate it, is the Mac ecosystem powerful enough to fix this little usability snag?
