AppleScript to send the shortcut keyboard to copy the cell

Before we go too complicated, I'm starting to get a basic copy/paste using keyboard shortcuts to work. In theory, if I can copy a value of cells in another cell using keyboard shortcuts, I can use keyboard shortcuts, I need more complex scripts.

Can someone more well informed that I look over the below basic code and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

(I added the script editor to the security settings for accessibility to allow him to control the computer.)

My code for a simple copy and paste:

on run

say application "Numbers".

activate

if not (there are document 1) then error number 1000

say document 1

tell the worksheet active

the value the selectedtable to (the first table whose class of selection range is range)

the value myRows to count the lines in selectedtable

say selectedtable

the value the selection range of cell 2 of rank 3

sendCopy

the value the selection range of cell 4 of rank 3

sendPaste

end say

end say

end say

end say

end run


on sendCopy()

say application 'Numbers' to Activate

say application "System events".

say application process "Numbers".

key sequence « C »

end say

e nd dire

end sendCopy


on sendPaste()

say application 'Numbers' to Activate

say application "System events".

say application process "Numbers".

key sequence « V »

end say

end say

end sendPaste

Thank you

Jason

With the help of someone in the developer forums, we found that even if I had the script editor in the Security section, he wasn't allowing me to call subroutines for some reason strikes any.

That and I me using capital C in the strike order, it interprets as Shift-c.

Following is the final work.

on run

say application "Numbers".

activate

if not (there are document 1) then error number 1000

say document 1

tell the worksheet active

set the selectedtable to (the first table whose class of selection range is range)

say selectedtable

set the selection range of cell 2 of rank 3

say application "System events".

say process of "Numbers".

key sequence 'c' with the command down

end say

end say

set the selection range of cell 4 of rank 3

say application "System events".

say process of "Numbers".

key sequence 'v' with the command down

end say

end say

end say

end say

end say

end say

end run

  • AppleScript to create the thumbnail of the file selected with hyperlink to the URL of the file

    Hello

    I need an AppleScript script to copy to the Clipboard a thumbnail of a selected file (s. picture 1 below) with a hyperlink to the URL of the selected file.

    I have a script that allows me to get the URL of the file and copy it to the Clipboard. But then I have to paste the URL into my Document, back to the finder, make a screenshot of the thumbnail of the file, paste this screenshot and enter the URL (manually copy) of the file (choose the context menu of the image) (s. image 2 below):

    Is there a way to automate this?

    I could do the screenshot manually, this is actually no problem, but then I would need to attribute this screenshot on a Clipboard 1, go back and get the URL of the file and attribute it to Clipboard 2 and then go to my document and paste Clipboard 1 first, chose the menu popup "hyperlink" and the Clipboard paste 2.

    I would be grateful for the help!

    Kai - Uwe

    Kai - Uwe,

    OpenOffice or LibreOffice aren't outwardly scriptable with AppleScript or Automator, as to exclude these two applications that support. They are inwardly Python scriptable via their respective SDK.

    I became aware of a solution of AppleScript that invites for the input file, then uses a custom (port) application that uses QuickLook to generate an image thumbnail jpg to your specified output destination. I added a line of AppleScript that sends the URL of the file to the Clipboard.

    After running the script, I can paste the URL of the document in LibreOffice and follow by drag and drop the jpg thumbnail afterwards.

    Do you want me to post the directions for this solution. In its current form, it is not written for processing batch.

  • Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

    Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

    If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error will not occur.

    For me, the problem was the FoxClock extension. Once I disabled it, the problem was gone.

    Hope this helps.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support on Vista?

    Hello. I've recently updated my satellite pro a100-828 to windows vista, and things work well to a large extent with two exceptions:

    1. I can't figure out how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support: media-keys to the left and the fn keys do nothing. There seems to be no shortcut keyboard-utility for windows vista in the drivers * tion. So what to do?
    2. the standby electricity utility is not available, which is good because of the power saver new vista. Except that I can't dim the screen, so the battery does not last me too long. How can I do this?

    Thanks in advance
    Best regards

    Hello

    These problems can be solved in a few minutes. You only need the added package Toshiba. It contains the driver for the FN - key, Toshiba Power Saver and more useful tips.

  • How do you add new shortcuts keyboard for the ESTK?

    keyboard shortcuts.JPG

    In many applications of our days, the user has the possibility to add new shortcuts keyboard beyond those that exist among the plethora of keyboard coming already prepackaged assignments. According to their number and the how an existing feature has been located on the keyboard, the user might have to deal with the conflict of the F2 key to their new macro shortcut assignment while making the assignment previous null.

    The ESTK interface seems to have some of these features; for example, editing-> Preferences-> keyboard shortcuts, however, I am unable to find out where and how the user can add a new macro, and assign a keyboard shortcut.

    In this example, everything I wanted to do was to decide quickly on a line or a block of comments from a script. Currently (CS6), the only options seem to be limited to Shift + Ctrl + K using this method will insert only / / ~ at the beginning of a line already has text on it and will not work on a new blank line.

    How can we (CS6) ESTK user adds a new macro and assign it a keyboard shortcut?

    I thank very you much for any answer.

  • MainStage 3 - sends the Midi file

    Hello.

    Someone at - it service send a Midi file in MainStage 3 to work?

    The synth gets midi when I play the midi keyboard.

    I tried to press the play button in MainStage before changing the patch that is supposed to send the midi file.

    I tried to download various midi files.

    I know I'm getting a midi SMF of the file, but don't know where to check if they are of type 0 or 1.

    The manual States the following:

    Send a MIDI file using an external instrument

    1. In the external Instrument channel strip Inspector, click the output tab MIDI.
    2. Check send a MIDI file, and then click the Select button.
    3. Choose the location of the MIDI file you want to add, select the file, and then click the file Send.The MIDI is sent immediately to the port selected on the external instrument Channel Strip. The MIDI file is returned when you change patches, just as the other options of the Inspector of channel strip (such as program change messages or the MIDI clock).

    Only types SMF (standard MIDI file) 0 and 1 are supported. MIDI files are sent in the order, the institution after another, per concert. If you pass quickly through several patches which send long queues of MIDI, MIDI files are queued and sent in succession. MIDI messages are sent to the tempo stored in the MIDI file.

    It is a complicated issue, but I solved with a workaround.  My file "noon" is a set of commands for controlling an external light strip (DMXIS) in sync with a backing track.   The native functionality of MainStage has not worked for me.  The solution was a plugin called thingy by plug.   The plug-in includes a large number of configurable widgets, including in particular a "midi file player."  This widget can be set up in the contraption that runs in the Instrument channel strip plug-in.   The configuration is complicated, but I can walk you through it, if you are interested.   The software thingy is about $ 100, but there is a period long demo if you want to try it.

    I would like to know if you want help setting up; the plugin task processor and memory, especially if you plan to run multiple instances.   But it works.

  • When you send the Web page link, the link is not active

    When I want to send the link to a Web page I visit, I choose my yahoo email account and the webpage link is inserted in the email box, but it is not an active link and cannot be clicked for this person to go. They could, however, copy and paste the address into a browser bar, which everyone would know how to do. If I choose my gmail account, the link is active. What is a firefox problem or yahoo? There are moments where the yahoo link would be active, but it seems that it is never active.

    Some publishers have magical powers to linkify automatically a URL. Yahoo does not that for Firefox, although I heard that it does for users of Internet Explorer.

    Instead, you must use the link button. I have attached some screenshots illustrating.

  • AppleScript to obtain the physical path of a picture in the Yosemite photos app

    In iPhoto, we had this nice XML file with the metadata for each image in iPhoto.

    In the Photos of Yosemite application, there is no file.  So, I wrote an Applescript script that loops on each folder, subfolder, album, etc. and write the details to an XML file.

    When code loops, I have:

    Repeat with img in each media element of myContainer

    and I get these details:

    • file name: 2011-07-10 020. JPG
    • Keywords: 2011-07-10
    • name: missing value
    • Description:

    • height: 3240
    • Width: 4320
    • altitude: missing value
    • Location: valuemissing missing value

    But nothing in these attributes tells me where the actual image file is on the hard drive.  Anybody know a way in AppleScript to obtain the physical path of a picture in Yosemite photos app?

    Thank you!

    There are two categories of images within a library of Photos: 1) copied - no external location information stored (by default) and image is stored in the photo library and 2) referenced - only the pointers to the location of external images are stored in the photo library, and location information to real image from the file menu and context menu as file referenced in the Finder menu item slide show can be found.

    In pictures preferences: general Board, there is an import: box - copy items to the photo library. Apparently, this option is enabled by default, as it was the once Photos migrate my iPhoto library. It also means that I don't have category 2 above and the menu items are gray, because there is no location of external file stored in the photo library.

    More on that here on different application.
