This is most kludgey, but works. Could be presented with more
elegance. This was saved as a compiled script in ~/Library/Scripts/
and is accessible through the Script Menu when the Mail.app is active.
The script simply transfers selected text in a message window to a new
TextEdit doc.
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Mail"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu "Mail" --(2)
tell menu item "Services" --(6)
tell menu "Services" --(1)
tell menu item "TextEdit" --(19)
tell menu "TextEdit" --(1)
click menu item "Open Selection" --(2)
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
This is a very well descriptive procedure. Bravo!
(Even if I prefer the "Make new AppleScript" command from the Services
menu.)
Much more than mine:
--------------------------------------
tell app "Mail" to activate
tell application "System Events"
click menu item "Open Selection" of menu "TextEdit" of menu item
"TextEdit" of menu "Services" of menu item "Services" of menu "Mail" of
menu bar 1 of application process "Mail"
end tell
--------------------------------------
Useful, if we could join a shortkey to a script in Script Menu: should
be much more useful than browsing the Services menu to find an
appropriate command, or going up to the right script in Script Menu.
Why not as an applet in the Dock...
The goal is to send a selection in a script editor easily and quickly!
I'd like the "Make new AppleScript" as contextual menu item in Mail
;-)
