The Omni Group Forums - View Single Post - make OF action out of current emacs buffer

tprouty

I found your example a really useful jumping off point. I wanted to do something a bit different, which was be able to select a region in emacs and have it pop up in the OmniFocus Quick Entry window to add a new task. More details about why I wanted to do that can be found here: http://timprouty-tech.blogspot.com/2...rom-emacs.html

Here's the code:

Code:

(defun omniQuickEntry (beg end)
  (interactive "r")
  (do-applescript (concat
		   "tell front document of application \"OmniFocus\"
			tell quick entry
			    make new inbox task with properties {name:\""
		   	        (buffer-substring beg end) "\"}
			    activate
			    select {inbox task 1}
			end tell
		    end tell")
	))

(global-set-key "\C-c\C-o" 'omniQuickEntry)
