It's helpful for punching in and out of preview

Too many to list, but for starters:
Toggle AFL/PFL mode
Change default crossfade shapes
Batch rename files (not just clip names)
Toggle individual groups on/off
Open/Hide various palettes that don't have shortcuts
Fix capitalization in track names
Delete tracks
Separate/add fades/mute surrounding clips

Update comments field with track names

etc, etc, on and on

Do you automate the mouse for this? Or did you figure out another way?

I imagine you could do this easily with "Click on Found Image"

I used KM for years for many shortcuts:
As already mentioned preview and write to selection was a massive one until the PT app came out.
I've now moved over to Soundflow, as it has a much tighter interface with PT and allows you to do a lot more fancy stuff and cleverer macros.
The less mouse clicks the better.
Soundflow is subscription only, which initially put me off as it did when it was introduced to PT. But its proved well worth it to me so far.
I have nothing invested in it, I just think its good and more people should know about it.
