Hello,
I can't figure out how to create the following 3 step macro
1- create a new named clipboard including -2- prompting the user for the name of that clipboard
-3- copy the system clipboard to the newly created and named named clipboard
Please note that the named clipboards will contain KM actions and series of actions, so using a file as an intermediate is not a solution
thank you
I have been using KMFAM many times a day and very much enjoy it. With all due respect, and it's just me, I find that it involves a bit too much manipulation. I used to accept that small drawback, but your QAP is a game changer.
the KM native favorites is just a list of actions
I am now hooked on your Quick Access Palette and am revising the way I work with with palettes, and the way in work in KM using the QAP. The ability to (+) add macros to the palette is fantastic.
my plan is to duplicate the QAP to create a dedicated QAP Favorite Actions palette with which in addition a paste the action (which would replace your run action), I will be able to edit the actions and duplicate→ edit (which I wrote and works well) when I create variants.
The downside is that because I don't understand the code which generates the QAP, I must edit each newly added QAP macro with the features (list of actions) above instead of them being automatically code generated.
thank you very much @Nr.5-need_input ! Very kind of you to have thought about my question. There is one step which is not clear and which I will ask Dan, but if you have any idea, I would be grateful
After the named clipboard is generated, how do you copy the system clipboard to it ?
The action below does not allow for variable clipboard names.
thank you. The idea of writing an appleScript to copy the clipboard to a named clipboard is unfortunately way above my level. thanks very much for having given it some thought.
fantastic Tobias ! You are a genius. Exactly what I was looking for !! thank you so much for all your time and intellect.
I made very minor changes
1- add dedication to you in the title with a flame emoji (as in brilliant)
2- comment with reference to this discussion
3- prompt user for name of named macro
4- prompt user to copy whatever there is to copy and press escape to continue
