CLI and URL scheme help needed

[oscillik]

Hi all,

I have BetterDisplay Pro license, and I'm trying to integrate a couple of settings into my LeaderKey configuration using either the CLI integration or the URL scheme integration, however I cannot for the life of me get them to work. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to set up a toggle to activate the main App Menu, and separately to toggle Dark Mode.

For the URL scheme attempts I am trying BetterDisplay://toggle?darkMode and BetterDisplay://toggle?appMenu but nothing happens.

For the CLI scheme attempts I am trying BetterDisplay.app/Contents/MacOS/BetterDisplay toggle darkMode and BetterDisplay.app/Contents/MacOS/BetterDisplay toggle appMenu and I get a "Failed" returned.

I'd prefer to use the URL scheme here if possible (I have enabled both the Custom URL scheme access and the CLI access in the main settings).

I would really appreciate some guidance here on what I'm doing wrong, thank you.

Yeah, sorry, with toggle this is not really obvious. Due to a bug, the toggle won't work without a provided value (can be empty). Try this for example:

BetterDisplay://toggle?darkMode=

The CLI is almost right, the correct format would be this:

/Applications/BetterDisplay.app/Contents/MacOS/BetterDisplay toggle -darkMode

Thank you so much! That's perfect.

Just for completeness, this is how the https call would look like (trying from localhost):

curl http://localhost:55777/toggle\?darkMode

The bug mentioned above will be fixed in v4.2.0: #5149
