Can a hotkey be set for stamps?

I’m started working with stamps. Is there a way to associate a hotkey with an individual stamp?

There’s no built-in method, as far as I know, but the Stamp menu is a fully fledged MacOS menu, so you can add a shortcut key to any stamp on the that menu in the normal way (i.e. System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts).

HTH.

Yes, actually you can. Stamps are listed in the main menu of Tinderbox. So if you open System Preferences, navigate to Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts. Create an app short shortcut for Tinderbox, using the name of your stamp (spelled exactly). It looks like this (the My Stamp entry):

Here’s what I often do. I create a lot of shortcuts like that in System Preferences, and use the shortcut names as stamps in different documents.

Sweet! :grinning: Thanks.

This works like a charm. Thank you @PaulWalters

Another option, which I use all the time, is with Keyboard Maestro. It has a select or show item menu item action that is really useful to use for any program including tinderbox for two reasons.

  1. KM can be synced across devices…important for me
  2. KM actions can be chained together to create some powerful workflows.
