Blank Keys
In a way DragThing and QuicKeys (the two I've experience with, but the other mentioned would do the same I presume) can create extra keys, by using unlikely key combinations. I'm in the same boat as the original author, so i assigned
Control-Option-Command End to Pause/Start Control-Option-Command UpArrow to volume up Control-Option-Command DownArrow to volume down That may seem like an awful combination until you look at a full size keyboard, but it's easy. I picked this combination because the arrows made sense and end was nearby and seemed like stop. And the ones the author picked I long ago (ten years or more with QuicKeys and since in OS X with DragThing) assigned to application launching. Also one can't pick combination used by other programs (and you'd be amazed how many there are and how easy it is to forget they exist until you use one in that program and something else happens because you assigned that combo with DragThing or some other macro program). Thanks for the hint, the main part for me was having the AppleScript written. I can never read a dictionary and figure out how to do something.
AppleScript and iTunes
Contrary to what I said above, I could understand the iTunes Dictionary and was able to add next track.
But most still don't make sense. To confirm this I went to the IE dictionary to see if one could tell how to open a URL in a new window. Not obvious to me that: OpenURL theURL toWindow 0 is how to do this. |
