Using a hotkey in Safari to start a script?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Although I’m a big fan of Safari, unfortunately it still displays some pages incorrectly. This makes me move to Explorer every once in a while to continue my browsing. When doing that, I always have to copy and paste the url.

I wrote a script to take the url from safari, activate explorer and open the url in a new window.

Now … I want to call it by pressing a hot key. In Mail I do this by simply adding ‘___ctl-x’ or something to the name of the file. However, this does not seem to work in Safari. Anyone who can help me out?

Hello gadg,

I’d recommend either Youpi Key, X Keys (both of which I believe you’ll find at versiontracker.com), Extra Suites at http://www.kanzu.com/ or, if you have the right version, System Events (a search on this site for keywords “System Events” wil most likely prove satisfactory). Additionally, I believe you’ll find some scripts for Safari ( if not a whole PACKAGE of scripts) on either Scriptbuilders or Code Exchange of MacScripter.net. I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Variable as the shade
