Standard Button

The Standard Button triggers its assigned macro on each tap. It also supports grid navigation through a secondary action.

Repeat on Long Press

Enable Repeat on Long Press to fire the macro repeatedly while the button is held down. This is useful for actions like scrolling, nudging parameters, or repeating commands.

Secondary Action

The secondary action determines what happens after the macro fires. Set it in the Inspector under Secondary Action:

• None — No additional action.
• Go to Previous Grid — Returns to the last active grid.
• Display Grid — Navigates to a specific grid in your workspace.
• Show / Hide OmniSpace — Toggles OmniSpace visibility.
• Lock Profile — Locks the current profile so MetaGrid Pro does not switch profiles when you change the focused app.
• Unlock Profile — Unlocks the profile.

Use Secondary Actions for Navigation

You can use Display Grid and Go to Previous Grid together to create efficient navigation flows.

For example, if your main grid is full but you need extra buttons for window arrangement (e.g., using the Magnet app), create a secondary grid with those controls. On the main grid, add a button with its secondary action set to Display Grid, pointing to the arrangement grid. On the arrangement grid, set each button's secondary action to Go to Previous Grid. Each tap triggers the macro and returns to the main grid automatically — no separate back button needed.

Toggle OmniSpace Access

When the sidebar is hidden, a button with Show / Hide OmniSpace provides quick access to the OmniSpace profile without leaving your current full-screen layout.
