A word count action script for Quicksilver
I came up with my own rendition from this. Doesn't require Growl and uses quicksilver's display large type (similar to the 'get IP' script that comes bundled).
To try it, you could just copy the script from the comment, get into the text editing mode of QS, paste and then choose 'run as applescript' as the action.
tell application "System Events" to tell (item 1 of (processes whose frontmost = true))To use it more permanently, just save this into a .scpt, select some text in a document and then (with the text still selected) fire up QS and get it to run the script. Does anyone know of a better way to grab the selected text other than using the clipboard? Any other critique would also be welcome.
import selected text into quicksilver for faster counting
Hi everybody,
A word count action script for Quicksilver
Nice script, monototo. You're approaching the task from a slightly different angle and your offering would certainly be more useful than mine in some situations. Personally, I prefer Growl Notifications to the big text thing in Quicksilver. Although Quicksilver has its own Growl command in Applescript, I found the formating was coming out all wrong so I interfaced directly with Growl.
A word count action script for Quicksilver
Is there any way to skip Quicksilver altogether and have a Growl Notification that uses
count (the clipboard) as an AppleScript?
I donīt know anything about coding but I managed to make a Script that counts the characters and made a Keyboard trigger. But it brings the Dialog Window in the background and I need to go back and check.
I constantly have to check character length and I need something that does not disrupts my work flow. Copying the text and using the script works fine, except for having to leave my current Application in order to check the pop-up Dialog. Any help will be greatly appreciated. |
