I discovered Raycast and installed the extension to list and run all Keyboard Maestro macros (I have hundreds of them) directly in CafeTran Espresso!

Furthermore, most commands in Beijer.bot can be triggered using various input modalities:

For example, the make something uppercase command can be triggered in various ways:

• a keyboard shortcut
• a voice command (‘make upper’)
• clicking a menu item in the Beijer.bot menu
