I’m new to the Mac, OS X and Applescript. I send many emails with almost the same text in them and have used a program called CastlePaste Pro in Windows to do this. Basically with CPP I can click on an icon, then click on the title of the text you want to paste and it is pasted wherever the cursor is. I’m trying to do the same thing with Applescript, as found within Mac OS X, not using any add ons, and am having no luck. It seems to me I should just be able to:
- Open the Script Editor and start to record
- Open Email, New Mail.
- Click on the body of the email and paste text that I have previously placed in the clipboard
- Then stop this script. Later I should be able to click on it and paste that text wherever the cursor is.
I’ve tried to do this but the editor doesn’t seem to recognize any of the things that I’m doing. Any suggestions on how to do this within Applescript? There may be other ways to get the text I want to paste within Applescript, so I’m open to that if needed.
BTW, is it possible to assign Applescripts to keyboard commands? Or, can you add a folder and scripts to the script menu?
Thanks for any help on this.
