INDESIGN CS - script shortcuts

Are we able to write script that would do keyboard shortcuts?
Example: command+control+W

also are we able to script something like: change trasparency to multiply?

Just curious

Thanks

are we able to script something like: change trasparency to multiply?

Yes:

Kari

Thanks Kari!
I assume that shortcuts we are not able to put in script. what about launching this:

first transparancy to multiply:
ell application “InDesign CS”
tell active document
set properties of selection to {blend mode:multiply}

then
(shift apple V) step and repeat window
offset set to “0” repeat 1 and if possible click ok without user interacting

then
(shift option apple K) clipping path window
in here user will need to interact because it would be hard to set:
Type: Photoshop
Path : Silo

and final
set properties of selection to {blend mode:normal}
end tell
end tell

as you can all see I am trying to merge images with silo - shadow on to background, and script would be so much helpfull because there are just why too many of these images

Thanks a bunch again

All that can be done without System Events/keyboard shortcuts.

This information can be found on page 99 InDesign CS Scripting Guide and under Classes: clipping path settings of InDesign AppleScript Dictionary.

Kari

works great!
However not all my images (old kinds) are not named silo for path so that creates a problem are we able to take this line:
set properties of clipping path of myImage to {clipping type:photoshop path, applied path name:“Silo”}

and just bring in the window were I can manually change it?

and then finish script…

thanks

at the end of script I would like selected object be on top, bring forward what is the command for that?

Thank you :slight_smile:

I figure out , it was actually pretty easy. Thanks anyway !!!
always apriciate it
