  1. If the element with the tooltip provides another click action (e.g an anchor-link), this won't work. Tapping and holding This is the way Google use a Tooltip in Material Design. A tooltip is triggered by tapping and holding an item. Keep the tooltip displayed as long as the user continues to hold the element.
  2. I've worked on the tool tips for my adverts which bust jargon quite a lot - they show with a simple mouse over. Obviously they don't work on touch interfaces. I'm limited to ideally pure HTML5 and CSS3, definitely no jquery, ideally no javascript.
  3. BetterTouchTool 3.0 has been redesigned, but it’s not so radically changed that if you're current user of the application you will feel lost. As a matter of fact, if you don’t like the redesign, you can navigate to the BTT icon in your Mac’s menu bar and open the Old.
  4. For the uninitiated, BetterTouch Tool (BTT) is a donation-ware system enhancement application.BTT started out simply providing some additional functionality for the trackpad and mouse and has slowly grown into a serious hacker's delight.

For the uninitiated, BetterTouch Tool (BTT) is a donation-ware system enhancement application. BTT started out simply providing some additional functionality for the trackpad and mouse and has slowly grown into a serious hacker's delight. BTT is a window manager, application launcher and much more.

Now, there is a companion iOS app, BTT Remote, that turns any iOS device into a remote control and track pad for a Mac. I took the app for a spin and it's working very well. Check out Brett's review for more info on what this new app can do.


Here's a brief look at how I've configured the app on my iPad. I'm not using at as a remote control. I use it as a companion keyboard palette for my Mac. I generally have at least one iOS device sitting on my desk anyway. In this way, I can easily reach over and trigger a simple macro without needing to remember a keyboard shortcut or configure a new Keyboard Maestro palette.

Actions are triggered almost instantly. Occasionally there is a fraction of a second delay but in general, the actions work as if they were keyboard shortcuts.

Actions are configured on the Mac side and instantly sync to a connected iOS device. Icons are customized through drag and drop into the action on the Mac or by selecting one from the included library. I'm using some of the included icons as well as a few WooCons.

Launch Checkvist

This action opens my Fluid app for Checkvist. BTT provides an action to open any application.

New Mail

I created an Automator application that does one thing. It creates a new email using my Macdrifter account. BTT launches that app and a new email draft appears in front of me.

Rode Mic

Touch

This action uses the trick I wrote about previously. It sets my audio input and output to my Rode Podcaster microphone.

The real trick here, is that BTT is actually just triggering a Keyboard Maestro macro through an AppleScript application.

From within Keyboard Maestro, I created a new group called 'BTT'. This group should always be active if the macros are to be accessed by AppleScript. Each macro in the group is setup to be triggered by an AppleScript. When this setting is enabled, the macro will provide the script text to use. Just copy that out.

I have four macros:

  1. Audio out to Rode
  2. Audio in to Rode
  3. Audio out to Mac
  4. Audo in to Mac

These use the functions I have described previously.

Next, I created an Automator application that executes the AppleScript from above to run the macros. For example, this script sets the audio input and output to my Mac. Notice that it is actually running two macros.

This Automator application is called by BTT when I tap it on my iPad or iPhone. One tap and my audio input switches.

Mac Audio

Same as above but switches my audio input and output to my Mac.

Left and Right Split and Move to Next Monitor

These all use the builtin window management functions of BTT to split my frontmost window across the screen or send it between displays.

Mission Control and Expose

These also use the built in BTT functions to control my Mac.

Terminal

This action just launches the Terminal app.

Color Picker

In BTT, macros can be configured for a global scope or for within a specific application. I have two versions of the color picker action. One is the global color picker available in the OS and that is triggered using the default BTT action.

The second action is scoped for only within Acorn. This one triggers the Acorn color picker using menu choices. BTT can access nested menu options with a straightforward configuration.

Open iTunes

This is the only action I would use while not sitting in front of my Mac. This is for those times when we sit down on the couch to use the AppleTV and I realize I iTunes is not running on my Mac. This macro just launches iTunes but it saves me a trip downstairs and makes everyone a bit happier.

Conclusion

BTT Remote is a handy little utility app. I like best for the times when I'm sitting right in front of my Mac. And if you're a Magic Trackpad user, now you can have one the entire size of your iPad, since BTT also provides a full screen trackpad view as well. I'm not sure if I'll stick with it, but it has some interesting options.

I'd also add, if you are a BetterTouch Tool user, buying the iOS app is a great way to support the developer.
