    Is this possible ?

    1. Hey Chris,

      Unfortunately, I don't think this is feasible at this point, since we primarily use UI Automation in SoundFlow and precise element-based waits, whereas people with KM typically automate keystrokes and use AppleScripts.
      So any automatic conversion would be far inferior to rewriting the macros/scripts in SF.

      1. What you can do as a migration tool is to have SoundFlow macros trigger KM macros (and vice versa).

      2. Thank you,

        Im looking at system stuff, this to be precise, just wondering if there was syntax converter

        tell application "System Preferences"
        reveal anchor "keyboardTab" of pane "com.apple.preference.keyboard"
        end tell
        tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
        click checkbox 1 of tab group 1 of window 1
        end tell
        quit application "System Preferences"
