Not so obvious to me ! I have created the Quick Action but I don't know how to trigger it, so I have saved it as an app. Also when I execute it from Automator (play button), the script doesn't work (nothing is pasted). Would you mind helping ? Looks the best way to quickly format a copied json ! Thanks
- ben509 7y agoYeah, that was a very terse explanation, and Automator is so user-friendly it's hard to use. 1. Start Automator. 2. In the "Choose a type..." sheet, choose "Quick Action". 3. Set these: Workflow recieves "current text" in "any application". Input is "entire selection". [X] Output replaces text. 4. Add "Run shell script" and select your preferred shell. jq . (Note that Automator is handling your stdin / stdout.) 5. File / Save. You can now find your workflow by command-clicking the document name in the window's titlebar. It should be in /Users/You/Library/Services Now, fire up TextEdit, enter some JSON. Right-click, select Services and your service should be present. It's also in the TextEdit menu under Services.
