If not, see . ;; ;;; Commentary: ;; ;; This code allows you to grab either the current selected items, or ;; the frontmost url in various mac appliations, and insert them as ;; hyperlinks into the current org-mode document at point. ;; ;; This code is heavily based on, and indeed requires, ;; org-mac-message.el written by John Weigley and Christopher ;; Suckling. ;; ;; Detailed comments for each application interface are inlined with ;; the code. Here is a brief overview of how the code interacts with ;; each application: ;; ;; Finder.app - grab links to the selected files in the frontmost window ;; Mail.app - grab links to the selected messages in the message list ;; AddressBook.app - Grab links to the selected addressbook Cards ;; Firefox.app - Grab the url of the frontmost tab in the frontmost window ;; Vimperator/Firefox.app - Grab the url of the frontmost tab in the frontmost window ;; Safari.app - Grab the url of the frontmost tab in the frontmost window ;; Google Chrome.app - Grab the url of the frontmost tab in the frontmost window ;; Together.app - Grab links to the selected items in the library list ;; ;; ;; Installation: ;; ;; add (require 'org-mac-link-grabber) to your .emacs, and optionally ;; bind a key to activate the link grabber menu, like this: ;; ;; (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () ;; (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omlg-grab-link))) ;; ;; ;; Usage: ;; ;; Type C-c g (or whatever key you defined, as above), or type M-x ;; omlg-grab-link RET to activate the link grabber. This will present ;; you with a menu to choose an application from which to grab a link ;; to insert at point. You may also type C-g to abort. ;; ;; Customizing: ;; ;; You may customize which applications appear in the grab menu by ;; customizing the group org-mac-link-grabber. Changes take effect ;; immediately. ;; ;; ;;; Code: (require 'org) (require 'org-mac-message) (defgroup org-mac-link-grabber nil "Options concerning grabbing links from external Mac applications and inserting them in org documents" :tag "Org Mac link grabber" :group 'org-link) (defcustom org-mac-grab-Finder-app-p t "Enable menu option [F]inder to grab links from the Finder" :tag "Grab Finder.app links" :group 'org-mac-link-grabber :type 'boolean) (defcustom org-mac-grab-Mail-app-p t "Enable menu option [m]ail to grab links from Mail.app" :tag "Grab Mail.app links" :group 'org-mac-link-grabber :type 'boolean) (defcustom org-mac-grab-Addressbook-app-p t "Enable menu option [a]ddressbook to grab links from AddressBook.app" :tag "Grab AddressBook.app links" :group 'org-mac-link-grabber :type 'boolean) (defcustom org-mac-grab-Safari-app-p t "Enable menu option [s]afari to grab links from Safari.app" :tag "Grab Safari.app links" :group 'org-mac-link-grabber :type 'boolean) (defcustom org-mac-grab-Firefox-app-p t "Enable menu option [f]irefox to grab links from Firefox.app" :tag "Grab Firefox.app links" :group 'org-mac-link-grabber :type 'boolean) (defcustom org-mac-grab-Firefox+Vimperator-p nil "Enable menu option [v]imperator to grab links from Firefox.app running the Vimperator plugin" :tag "Grab Vimperator/Firefox.app links" :group 'org-mac-link-grabber :type 'boolean) (defcustom org-mac-grab-Chrome-app-p t "Enable menu option [f]irefox to grab links from Google Chrome.app" :tag "Grab Google Chrome.app links" :group 'org-mac-link-grabber :type 'boolean) (defcustom org-mac-grab-Together-app-p nil "Enable menu option [t]ogether to grab links from Together.app" :tag "Grab Together.app links" :group 'org-mac-link-grabber :type 'boolean) (defcustom org-mac-grab-Skim-app-p t "Enable menu option [S]kim to grab page links from Skim.app" :tag "Grab Skim.app page links" :group 'org-mac-link-grabber :type 'boolean) (defun omlg-grab-link () "Prompt the user for an application to grab a link from, then go grab the link, and insert it at point" (interactive) (let* ((descriptors `(("F" "inder" org-mac-finder-insert-selected ,org-mac-grab-Finder-app-p) ("m" "ail" org-mac-message-insert-selected ,org-mac-grab-Mail-app-p) ("a" "ddressbook" org-mac-addressbook-insert-selected ,org-mac-grab-Addressbook-app-p) ("s" "afari" org-mac-safari-insert-frontmost-url ,org-mac-grab-Safari-app-p) ("f" "irefox" org-mac-firefox-insert-frontmost-url ,org-mac-grab-Firefox-app-p) ("v" "imperator" org-mac-vimperator-insert-frontmost-url ,org-mac-grab-Firefox+Vimperator-p) ("c" "hrome" org-mac-chrome-insert-frontmost-url ,org-mac-grab-Chrome-app-p) ("t" "ogether" org-mac-together-insert-selected ,org-mac-grab-Together-app-p) ("S" "kim" org-mac-skim-insert-page ,org-mac-grab-Skim-app-p))) (menu-string (make-string 0 ?x)) input) ;; Create the menu string for the keymap (mapc '(lambda (descriptor) (when (elt descriptor 3) (setf menu-string (concat menu-string "[" (elt descriptor 0) "]" (elt descriptor 1) " ")))) descriptors) (setf (elt menu-string (- (length menu-string) 1)) ?:) ;; Prompt the user, and grab the link (message menu-string) (setq input (read-char-exclusive)) (mapc '(lambda (descriptor) (let ((key (elt (elt descriptor 0) 0)) (active (elt descriptor 3)) (grab-function (elt descriptor 2))) (when (and active (eq input key)) (call-interactively grab-function)))) descriptors))) (defalias 'omgl-grab-link 'omlg-grab-link "Renamed, and this alias will be obsolete next revision.")
