FYI - new TypeIt4Me feature of interest to scripters
Afternoon folks.
Finally I get to expose this on the list.
I'm going to give a bit of a shameless product plug, but I have no
financial stake in the product. Just a satisfied user and beta tester who
got the nod from the developer today to make the feature public on the
scripting lists. And since this is the audience that would have an
interest in the latest feature, here we go.
If any of you are TypeIt4Me users you might be interested to know that
the latest version will allow you to run AppleScripts by typing a mnemonic
of your choosing. I've been using a working version of this for about
three + months now and it's pretty convenient.
Type it for me normally acts as a typing expander; for example, when I
type "sor" my Mac spits out "Sorry for the delay in replying." You set up
your own expansions list and the abbreviations you want to use to trigger
them. It'll also do date and time stamps and other convenient things.
But the new version allows you to put in AppleScripts in the text
expansion field and when preceded by a special character (to indicate to
TypeIt4Me that it's an AppleScript), your script runs. For example, in my
setup typing "gg" followed by a space pulls up a browser window with the
Google main page. I've been using numerous other such expansions.
I've used TypeIt4Me for about 8 years now and it has saved me from typing
millions of characters. Now it's even more useful as many of my frequently
used scripts can be triggered from any application by typing a mnemonic.
No nee to touch a mouse and doesn't involve F-keys. Just leave your
fingers on the home position and type the shorthand. Pretty convenient.
That's all I wanted to say. If you're not already using a typing expander
it's well worth a look.
