A simple gem which allows you to bind global hot keys with macruby, optionally can also specify which application needs to be frontmost (inspired by Keyboard Maestro)
gem install hotkeysmacruby examples/simple.rb
Usage example:
macruby examples/simple.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'hotkeys'
# Delegate method called when the app finished loading
def applicationDidFinishLaunching(notification)
@hotkeys = HotKeys.new
# Will only trigger if Safari is frontmost application, second option can be left blank
# for truly global shortcut
@hotkeys.addHotString("Space+OPTION","com.apple.safari") do
puts "LOL MACRUBY RUNS"
end
# Seriously for a second; For some reason a global hotkey or at least
# the way I've got it to working blocks the keystroke. Which I guess is normal?
#
# Maybe I'll hack around that with system events for a bypass option, it wouldn't
# be elegate, but this is new territory anywho
#
@hotkeys.addHotString("S+COMMAND") do
puts "NO SAVING FOR YOU, LOL" # Trolled myself with this for longer than I should of
end
end
# We are delegating the application to self so the script will know when
# it finished loading
NSApplication.sharedApplication.delegate = self
NSApplication.sharedApplication.run
- Clean up shortcut.m
- Cannot unbind keys, (anyone awesome at objective+c?)
