I'm trying to trigger a QuicKeys Shortcut from within an Applescript. How
might that be done? QuicKeys doesn't seem to have a application from which I
can open an Applescript dictionary and explore its scriptability. The
QuicKeys manual seems only to brush upon relationships between QuicKeys and
Applescript, but not in any way that would assist me in what I'm trying to
do.
I've got an Acrobat Plugin (Gemini) that extracts text from PDFs, but Gemini
isn't scriptable and doesn't have any keyboard shortcuts that would enable
me to use KeyQuencer (or some such) to automate text extraction of multiple
PDFs.
I never use QuicKeys if I can help it, but here I thought I could use it to
trigger Gemini's text extraction feature in Acrobat. I've got QuicKeys doing
what I want from a keyboard shortcut now, but I have to figure out how to
trigger the keyboard shortcut from within an Applescript repeat loop.
I'm sure the answer's right in front of my face, but I guess I'm thrown by
how unorthodox QuicKeys seems as a Mac app. I'm more than open to any
solution that leaves QuicKeys out of equation.
