I used the script you suggest with a small change : tell application "Safari" set theUrl to URL of document 1 set theName to the name of the document 1 set theOrglink to "[[" & theUrl & "][" & theName & "]]" set the clipboard to theOrglink end tell activate application "Emacs" tell application "System Events" keystroke "v" using {command down} keystroke return end tell activate application "Safari" and then I opened it with the application Fastscripts (http://www.red-sweater.com/fastscripts/). No i have the option to add the bookmark by keystroke to the actual open Emacs window. Regards, Daniel!
