Ask HN: Have you written or came across any useful AppleScript on MacOS
- through 8y agoIndirectly, yes, though I found myself disliking the AppleScript language, so turned to JXA which provides the same functionality in ECMAScript. I found this repo to be helpful for both languages: https://github.com/JXA-Cookbook/JXA-Cookbook https://github.com/JXA-Cookbook/JXA-Cookbook I know it’s not quite what you are asking, but I hope it provides some benefit.
- atmosx 8y agoI wrote one to connect and disconnect to all the corporate VPNs with Viscosity.
- Odenwaelder 8y agoYes: 1. Before I ported my CV to LaTeX to fully automate assembly, I had an AppleScript that would export a CV generated in InDesign to PDF with certain settings. 2. I have a small AppleScript that toggles Dark Mode on Mohave.
- sethammons 8y agoIt was a while back, but I think it was in applescript. I had set it up so if I pressed some modifier key twice it would toggle the F* keys allowing me to not have to press the Fn key. It was for acccessing game hotkeys (maybe StarCraft II). It worked for a while and after some system upgrade, it stopped working. I was never motivated enough to find out why.
- yesenadam 8y agoCame across this somewhere: "cdf" changes the current bash directory to the one open in Finder. cdf () { currFolderPath=$( /usr/bin/osascript <<EOT tell application "Finder" try set currFolder to (folder of the front window as alias) on error set currFolder to (path to desktop folder as alias) end try POSIX path of currFolder end tell EOT ); echo "cd to \"$currFolderPath\""; cd "$currFolderPath" }
