Just double-click the Example Macros by ccs.kmmacros file, and it will import into its own group.
There are nine useful tools, but the one I use most often is pdftotext.
It's a fantastic little tool, and it's the only such tool I know of that will attempt to preserve the layout of a PDF when it converts it (which makes parsing the resulting text much easier most of the time).
The basic syntax for pdftotext is:
pdftotext -layout <path> -
Replace <path> with the path to your file.
Quote the path with double or single quotes if it has ANY spaces in it.
The trailing dash is required if you want your output to go to the console – otherwise a new file will be written.
No. Read the INSTALL file in your favorite text editor and follow its instructions.
Thanks for the details Chris. I did find the correct directories but what stopped me when I first took a look at this was that I don't have an /usr/local/man/ directory. I am on 10.11.5 so the MAN path was perplexing and I think I have it figured out. I am posting this so if someone else has problems they will know what to do.
I googled and found I could find out the path to any MAN (manual) document by typing:
MAN COMMAND --path
So for example to find the path to the man page for the MacOS MANual I can type:
man man --path
Which returns:
/usr/share/man/man1/man.1
So I dropped the man files in the /usr/share/man/man1 and /usr/share/man/man5 directories and tested it. Worked!
I was really pleased with how it handles displaying some invoices I fed to it using the 'layout' option you suggested.
I took a look at your macros and was delighted to find two for nvALT which is a favorite of mine. I use it for everything. I see you have a tag of scratchx which I am guessing is scratch pad? I am not really using tags too much with nvALT but maybe I will. Thanks for some great stuff. It's going to take me a little time to get through all these and truly understand how they work but they are great.
I definitely needed "Move Selected Files to Desktop" as an example. I've been looking everywhere to find a way to manually move receipts to various quarterly folders and spent considerable time today trying to figure it out. This came in my email today! Thanks so much!
could you please be so kind to tell me where to find your example group for download?
Especially I’m interested in “Shell: Echo to Floating Window” to find out how to target a system floating window.

Wow! It is amazing how different each of us is, and what we find painful, and how much trouble we are willing to go to to avoid the pain.
I'm really glad your system works for you. For me, I have good muscle memory for the Mac standard movement/selections, using modifier keys and arrow keys.
Seems like you might run into conflicts with your system with when you want to actually type the shortcut keys you have defined. But maybe it's very seldom.
never mind … the funny thing is that your reply was the first one I ever got to my questions in this forum so far
