Enable/Disable Keyboard Trigger via Macro or Script?
I'm wondering if it's possible to enable/disable a keyboard trigger on a script from another macro or script?
Some context:
I have a series of macros that I use to clear a video offset when I'm bouncing a QuickTime and then re-enter the offset once the bounce is done. (This way I don't forget to re-enter the offset once the QuickTime is completed!)
I'm a freelancer and have a number of studios I work out of which all have different video offsets and also different ProTools versions. Right now I just go into the SoundFlow script editor and enable the keyboard trigger for the script that has the correct offset & either "Bounce Mix" or "Bounce QuickTime" for the room I'm working in. Not a huge deal BUT I would love to be able to have a series of buttons on my stream deck to enable the keyboard shortcut on the macro that corresponds with the studio I'm working in!
Anyone know if this is doable?

From what I can tell you're asking if SF can be used to control SF. Unfortunately this is not possible. Looking at your scenario, It seems the best solution would be to use a different keyboard trigger for each command/offset.
In reply toAaron_McCourt⬆:Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2021-10-18 22:49:57.853ZYou can also change the script itself so it reads the computer's hostname and then looks up a table of offsets based on each computer and uses that to determine what to fill in :)
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2021-10-18 22:53:23.173ZSomething like this - then use the offset variable to set your QT offset as before.
const offsetByHostName = { 'Christians-MacBook-Air-5': 14, 'Christians-Mac-Pro': 27, }; var hostName = sf.system.hostNameGet().hostName.split('.local')[0]; log(`This computer's hostname is '${hostName}'`); var offset = offsetByHostName[hostName]; if (offset === undefined) throw `There's no offset defined for computer with hostname '${hostName}'`; log(`Offset chosen: ${offset}`);
