I’m not a Keyboard Maestro user, so perhaps it’s specific to that app. While it’s easy enough to get DEVONthink to select the group, I just don’t see how to get the mouse to place itself over the selected smart group so that I can access the context menu via BTT (i.e., unless I get lucky and the mouse is already at a set of coordinates that is over the top of the selected smart group). I’m sure I might be overlooking something, but doesn’t your method still require you to move the cursor and place it over the top of the smart group you’ve just opened? How else can BTT access the context menu if the mouse isn’t over the smart group you intend to edit? Maybe I’m overlooking something in BTT? Similar to yourself, I use several different Alfred workflows that I’ve created to more quickly open or reveal smart groups (global and DB-specific), etc. You perhaps have a way to open links with the mac automation apps you are using. I open smart group URL link with the keyboard maestro action below and then access the context menu with the keyboard maestro right click action or the BTT context menu. That said, is there any way “Edit” will get added to the menu bar sometime soon? Even Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines recommend that everything in the context menu also be placed in the menu bar. Any thoughts? There’s got to be a good third-party tool for something like this? I’ve done some digging, but haven’t had any luck so far. I’m probably in the minority here, but I don’t see the point of using a shortcut that still requires the user to physically move the mouse over the intended smart group. While I don’t mind using BTT or another related tool to access the context menu and click “Edit”, I can’t figure out how to force the mouse/cursor to move to the appropriate screen location over the selected smart group - which would allow me to use BTT to access the context menu, etc. By chance, do you guys know if it’s possible to get the screen location/bounds/etc of a selected DEVONthink item (i.e., from a script or related tool)? Like yourselves, DEVONthink’s lack of an “Edit” menu bar item for smart groups has always really annoyed me.
