Inspired by Rustom's post, I have experimented with doing a similar
thing for OS X, using applescript. The following seems to work OK.
------------- begin script ---------------------------------
tell application "Aquamacs Emacs"
activate
delay 1
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Emacs"
tell window 1
key code 53
keystroke ":"
keystroke "(myfunc)"
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
------------ end script ------------------------------------
This script can be bound to a hotkey using QuickSilver, or similar.
Note that this doesn't use emacsclient, so it is an example of
Rustom's 1st option. It is heavily indebted to a similar script that
Bill Clementson posted on his blog
(http://bc.tech.coop/blog/041219.html)
The function myfunc does not need to contain the raise-frame and
make-frame-visible commands.
The command "delay 1" is there to work around a bug in the virtual
desktop software that I use. If emacs is running on a different
desktop, then it receives a switch-frame command just after it is
raised. Without the delay, the switch-frame can show up in the middle
of the "M-: (myfunc)" sequence, which breaks things.
Happy Xmas to all you org-ers! A special festive thanks to our
glorious leader Carsten, and his trusty lieutenant Bastien.
Cheers
Will
