Linux/OSX? #21

This looks a fantastic package. Any plan to make it work in Linux and OSX?

mattiasnordin commented 7 years ago

Unfortunately not, since I don't use either OS and don't have any straightforward way to try out how it works. But I guess it should be fairly straightforward for OSX since I suspect AppleScript can be used similar to automation for Windows. Feel free to make a pull request if you want to try to make it work. You can also look at StataEnhanced which I believe uses AppleScript. For Linux, I'm not sure how to make it work.

Applescript can be used in the same way as Windows automation. I've developed a package for Atom that runs Stata code on macOS, and I've written scripts that use the external autokey automation utility to run snippets of code from any text editor on Linux.
