Hi Guys,
Just wanted to drop you guys a little script i made to help you with copy and
pasting stuff from pdfs web or anything actually.
The basic premise here is to copy whatever sentence paragraph or whatever text
you have, use the copy last phrase to clipboard command and my script will
automatically paste it to the end of your text editor window.
This is very useful if you have long text that you want copied and pasted from
pdf files just as they are supposed to be without wasting time on switching
apps, reformatting etc.
Here's the script:
set thetext to get the clipboard
tell application "TextEdit"
set theindex to every paragraph of front document
set thecount to count theindex
set thecount to thecount + 1
set paragraph thecount of front document to thetext
say "pasted to text editor"
end tell
Copy it all, paste it into your applescript editor which is
/applications/utilitiesapplescript editor
/
The best thing to do next is to apply a gesture to the script.
Here is how i do this:
I have option one finger flick down to read the next sentence
Option tow finger flick down for next paragraph
Then i have option four finger flick left to copy last phrase to clipboard
Lastly, i use option pinch out for running the script
With this, every paragraph you want to copy is then pasted without switching to
the text editor and back.
I'll make a better version later on but if you want to play with this one
already and test it out, be my guest :)
I might make a short podcast to demonstrate how faast one's productivity can
get with this technique
Yuma
