have you considered using Services for this? Services already support taking selected text and doing transformations on it, and allow user-configurable keyboard shortcuts. Plus it will work in any app, not just Notes.
- jwells89 3y agoEchoing this. Services and other types of macOS system plugins (e.g. color palette plugins) are great with how they enable app-agnostic functionality but are unfortunately underused.
- rexec 3y agoThat feature is so well hidden I kind of forgot it exist. I'll check out the selection/transformation stuff!
- kergonath 3y agoIt is well hidden. It’s also amazing. Services are available system-wide, work in any application and can be as sophisticated as you want, if only because you can put as many shell scripts as you’d like in them and then Bob’s your uncle. It’s one of the key features I miss when I use Linux.
- fiddlerwoaroof 3y agoYeah, Apple services are one of a bunch of semi-forgotten features of macOS that are real gems
