Le 06 Avril 2003, M. Gruchet a ecrit:

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 ;-)


Kind regards,

If you want to use the service menu "Make new Applescript" with a shortkey, you can add it manualy.
Open the Script Editor 2 package , then Contents/info.plist. Open this file with Property List Editor and click on the key "NSServices", then click on the first item of this Array (Number 0). Create a new dictionary called "NSKeyEquivalent" and a string in this dictionary called "default". fill the value for this key with your Key Equivalent. Personaly, I just typed "A" without quotes. The Shortkey is in this case : SHIFT-APPLE-A.
Of course you have to check if there is not any conflict with other services.
If you don't have Property List Editor, here is the xml part I added :

<key>NSKeyEquivalent</key>
<dict>
<key>default</key>
<string>A</string>
</dict>

If you want, you can also translate the title of the menu item into your favorite language if you modify the key <default> of <NSMenuItem>
Voila, voila...

Then log out /in, and wait 30 seconds. You should see the new shortkey in front of the menu item.

I think there is another good solution for displaying and capturing Applescripts from mailing lists but I will talk about it in a separate message :-)
