Hi,
I would like my favorite text editor to insert the current time and
date when I press command-D. I have inserted the following into
its scripts menu:
set date_ to (current date) as string
tell application "System Events" to keystroke date_
which works fine. The problem is that if I assign this the
shortcut command-D (using the keyboard preferences pane), then when
the script starts running I'm still holding down the command key so
that it enters command-F command-R command-I command-D command-A
command-Y etc. instead of "Friday...," causing my document to
become very strangely formatted.
You may try with:
set the clipboard to (current date) as string
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using {command down}
