Hi,
Have been experimenting with intervening in the Save process of Microsoft “Word”; At the moment the Command Save keystroke combination is my interest.
The script below -put together from previous posts, mainly from this site- seems to work. However it appears to be somewhat slow and so may not be 100%
Could it be configured to respond faster ? I am very new to scripting so there may well be some completely different option.
However I did come across, on this site, the command line tool checkModifierKeys put together by, one of your GrandMasters, StefanK.
The response to checkModifierKeys is instantaneous when say shift/option is used as a substitute for command save .
I was wondering whether or not exists a similar command line tool to checkModifierKeys that would respond to say a combination of a letter (like s) and a modifier key (like command) ?
on run
tell application "KeyboardViewerServer"
activate
set visible to false
end tell
--set mynewLet to theFle as string
--set MyFile to name of (info for theFle)
--set appName to etc etc
end run
on idle
--set mynewLet to theFle as string
--set MyFile to name of (info for theFle)
--set appName to etc etc
tell application "System Events"
if ((get value of checkbox "⌘" of first window of application process "KeyboardViewerServer") as number) = 1 and ((get value of checkbox "s" of first window of application process "KeyboardViewerServer") as number) = 1 then
tell application "Microsoft Word"
if (get name of active document) is MyFile then
display dialog ("Do you want to save the changes you made to " & " \"" & MyFile & "\"?"") with title ("Save your Document Here") buttons {"Don't Save", "Cancel", "Save"} default button "Save"
end if
end tell
end if
end tell
return 0.01
end idle
