10.4: Two ways to bypass Spotlight 'find-as-you-type'
I made LaserLight an AppleScript text based QuicKeys shortcut. There seems to be no reason this should be an application rather than a normal script. Doing so: 1. makes it unnecessary to launch another application 2. is a lot faster to start
Caveats & Mods:
A. I hate the way Applescript is stupid about where to put user dialogs. (this could be it's own tip if it isn't already!) To put up dialogs in front of frontmost application, I always use this:
so for each of the display dialog commands in laser light that is not already in a tell block (ie, system preferences), I used that format.
For ease, this is the main block chaged: B. QK also has an annoying problem that cancel is treated like an error. To prevent this, change the step failure setting for the step to "continue to next step" |
