![]() To use a less liberal but more helpful set of JavaScript rules, we can add the line 'use strict' Īt the start of a function. Misspelled variable names, and accidental uses of the same globally visible name in different parts of a script are rich sources of puzzling bugs and wasted time. JavaScript gives us a lot of freedom, sometimes more than is helpful. Messy and complex JXA – persistent global names Good and simple JXA – temporary local names Keyboard Maestro’s Execute a JavaScript in Safari and Execute a JavaScript in Google Chrome actions are for interacting with web pages, the Execute a JavaScript in Custom Prompt action is for interacting with Custom HTML Prompts, whereas JXA is for automating OS X and OS X Applications via the Execute a JavaScript For Automation action. Later on, you may find it interesting to scan this output list for useful functions, but for the moment, it's enough to simply notice that the JXA JavaScript environment is very different from the set of web page (window and document) references that you find in the Browser JavaScript environments of Chrome and Safari. We can either run this directly from from one of Keyboard Maestro's 'Execute a JavaScript for Automation' actions, or use an osascript command in an Execute Shell Script action. The result will be a listing of all the pre-defined names in JXA's osascript environment. You can view the built-in, default function provided by JXA by running this simple, one-word script: Set current pane to pane id " additional access to a lot of low-level Apple system functions through the Objective-C object. On change_shortcut(shortcut_region, section_name, shortcut_title, new_val, special_key_list) # Use the value based on the list below: # modifierKeys define the modifier keys to be pressed. # regularKey defines the regular key to press. # System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services # serviceName defines the name of the target service under: # handler using the parameters as defined below: Note: Any keyboard shortcut set must be unique to any app that has focus when the keyboard shortcut is pressed.Įxample AppleScript code: - # Call the SetChangeServicesKeyboardShortcut(serviceName, regularKey, modifierKeys) It is initially set for Import Image using keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘9 and you should test the script as is, before modifying it. You will need to set the value of three variables, serviceName, regularKey, modifierKeys, the latter of which is based on the list in the beginning comments of the script. This is also written to specifically target the Services category, as other categories require different coding. The example AppleScript code, shown further below, was tested in Script Editor under macOS Mojave and macOS Catalina, as well as macOS High Sierra with one minor edit, and works as is, on my system using US English for its Language & Region settings in System Preferences. and wanting to target row 59, I'm assuming you are using macOS Mojave or macOS Catalina, and targeting the Services category, as that is the only category that would realistically have that many rows, or more, to assign a keyboard shortcut to. Since in your code, you are using select row 6. Which is why I'd only use UI Scripting if there is no other way to accomplish the task at hand. The only way I know of for sure that will work using UI Scripting and System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services (or any other category under Shortcuts) is to essentially simulate all the steps that would occur when doing it manually. This script only works only if the Service has an previous shortcut, if the shortcut is none not works at allĭoes someone have a hint how can I solve this? If is there some other way to create shortcut without the applescript will be welcome.do something like of row (where UI element "My Service Name") I know the name of shortcut is in UI element "My Service Name" but I don't know how to do a nested selection, for example instead. is not good, I would like to use the name of shortcut instead this index. Set value of text field 1 of UI element "My Service Name" of row 59 of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group of tab group 1 of window 1 of application process "System Preferences" to "⌥⌘1"īut now I'm stuck, what I'm not being able to do is: Select row 6 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of tab group 1 of window 1 of application process "System Preferences" Set current pane to pane id ""Ĭlick radio button "Shortcuts" of tab group 1 of window "Keyboard" of application process "System Preferences" ![]() What I got so far is tell application "System Preferences" If someone could give me a hand, I'm trying to automatize the creation of keyboards shortcuts for some Services.
