Stecker 4+

I have a usb connected scanner with an on/off switch and wanted the scanner software to auto launch each time that I turn the scanner on. I tried using the Shortcuts app to do this, but I could not figure it out. Then after searching the web, someone did a very positive review on this app and I decided to give it a try. Once the app laucnches, it lists all of the usb devices on the computer then allows you to select the one that you want to mange. Once you pick the usb device that you want to manage, and follow the instructions, it will eventually connect into the Mac OS shortcut app and link to the exact task that you need to have completed. So now when I turn on the scanner, the scanner software will immediatley launch without any input from me. What a great tool!!!

This is exactly what I was looking for to detect when my docking station gets disconnected. I need to run a small shell script when the dock gets bumped because virtualbox doesn't like the bridge device disconnecting but a quick shell script will make it happy.

Once Luis pointed out that I needed to create an item in the "shortcuts" application this is working like a dream! Thank you Luis!

I was trying to use another program to detect USB connect/disconnect. However the other program buggy and the developer was hostile. I found Stecker, and it WORKED the first time with my USB device. I love the interface that lists all the USB devices as well. Wonderful!

My only suggestion is to add the abiity to send a global hotkey combination to the OS instead of caling a shortcut. Yes a shortcut could send the hotkey, but that's an extra step.
