For some reason, Mojave has decided that on my machine I could not assign a
shortcut to the Finder > Tags... menu item anymore. It used to be
Shift+Command+T.
Problem is that I use that item constantly in my workflow and having to use the
mouse to get there is a pain.
I tried to create a small script/app that I'd call from Spotlight, but that
requires UI scripting and I really not good at that...
For one, I'm trying to find the item itself, so I have this small routine that
gives me names:
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
set frontmost to true
return name of menu item 45 of menu 1 of menu bar item 3 of menu bar 1
end tell
Problem is that item 45 seems to correspond to the green dot displayed in the
menu, then I have item 46 that doesn't have a name and then no item 47...
Then, clicking on some items there produces results, or not, depending on the
item:
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
set frontmost to true
click menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu bar item 3 of menu bar 1
end tell
This works: I get a new Finder window.
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
set frontmost to true
click menu item 45 of menu 1 of menu bar item 3 of menu bar 1
end tell
This doesn't work: I don't get to change the selected file tag.
What's wrong with me ?!?
