Hi there,

as the subject says, I would like to get links from any browser (i almost don’t care which one) into org mode. So far I have 
tried is the EmacsClient.app (https://github.com/neil-smithline-elisp/EmacsClient.app) but it did not work at all.

orgmode => the git repository
emacs => from brew (GNU Emacs 24.3.1)

Any hints welcome. :)

Thank you, 
Daniel

Since you mention Safari, assume you are running on a Mac. Here is what you are looking for. 

;;; setup org-mac-link-grabber
(require 'org-mac-link)
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () 
  (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  ))

That's correct.

> browser => emacs

Probably the best is to use an Applescript like below, and save it in
~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Safari. You can kick off this
Applescript using a variety of methods (Quicksilver, menu bar, etc.)

http://www.tuaw.com/2006/08/08/tuaw-tip-enable-the-applescript-menu/


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"

-- this last bit is iffy, since Emacs will not always have an org file
--  open in the frame that pops up. 
tell application "System Events"
	keystroke "y" using control down
end tell

Hope this helps.

Good evening Haider.

thank you so much for your input, this helps a lot!! :) Now i have a working solution.

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!

With firefox you can use the CoLT (Copy Link Text) add-on
 https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/colt/
with this format string
 : [[%U][%T]]

Hope this helps
Uwe
