Keyboard Shortcuts for Autokey Folder Menu Options


Posted on Nov 11, 2011 by Happy Elephant

In AutoKey I have a folder titled "Date" with the abbreviation "tdy". Inside I have 4 scripts, each output a slightly different variation of todays date.

Folder: Date [Abbr. tdy]

1. Date - File

output = system.exec_command('date +"%Y-%m-%d"')

keyboard.send_keys(output)

2. Date - Abbrev

output = system.exec_command('date +"%D"')

keyboard.send_keys(output)

3. Date - Short

output = system.exec_command('date +"%B %d, %Y"')

keyboard.send_keys(output)

4. Date - Long

output = system.exec_command('date +"%A, %B %d, %Y"')

keyboard.send_keys(output)

It would be handy if when the menu popped open, I could select 1 of the 4 scripts with another shortcut, like "4" or "L" for "Date Long". As of right now, I have to arrow down multiple times or use the mouse to select the last item in the list. It would be a bonus if the popout menu could underline or highlight "4" or "L" in case I forget what I assigned as the shortcut
