Snippets
CommandPost allows you to create Lua code snippets, which appear as actions in CommandPost's Search Console.
This means you can trigger a Snippet via a shortcut key or control surface button.
For example, to launch Final Cut Pro, you can use this simple Lua code:
cp.apple.finalcutpro:launch()
CommandPost is also compatible with Hammerspoon, so you can also use any of the examples on the Hammerspoon website:
You can learn more about Lua here:
Here's a link to Hammerspoon's API reference:
Here's some direct links to some useful Hammerspoon functions:
