So in Automator here I'm going to create a new document that's a Quick Action. First let's start off by doing it in Automator using Watch Me Do. We could do that series of keyboard commands with just one action and we could do it several ways. So I did the entire thing with a short series of keyboard commands. For good measure the up arrow to go to the beginning of the line we just pasted. The carriage return or line feed at the end there. Then a single Shift right arrow to select one more character. Shift Command right arrow to select everything to the end of the line. I could Command left arrow to go to the beginning of the line. So let's place the cursor in the middle of the line in a random spot. Or I could just user keyboard shortcuts for it. I could Command X to cut, click on the beginning of the next line and Command B to paste. A triple click will do it or I can drag and slide from the beginning. Now I could do that by selecting the line any number of ways. So here I am in TextEdit and let's say I want to switch this line and this line. The example I'm going to use here is switching two lines. Here are three methods of repeating a sequence of keys. Well, you can do this many different ways on your Mac. It would be great to have a shortcut that goes through that sequence rather than having to do all those key presses. So let's say you have to repeat a series of keystrokes all the time in order to accomplish a task.
