BetterTouchTool: Is it possible to use a context-menu item with a gesture?

Question

Example: I want to attach the "TipTap Left" gesture with "Save Image As..." from the context-menu in Chrome. Possible?

Answer 1

You won't be able to do this in BetterTouchTool alone. The following steps use Keyboard Maestro specifically, but you should be able to duplicate them in some way with most any macro application.

1. Set the gesture in BTT to an unusual keyboard shortcut that won't be used by anything else.

2. In Keyboard Maestro, create a new macro that is triggered by this shortcut.

3. Set the contents of the macro as follows:

   • Move and Click at (0,0) from the Current Mouse Location
   • Insert Text ‘Save Image As’ by Typing
   • Type the Return Keystroke

   Here's what it should look like.
