not pasting results into any apps #7

Closed EvanZ closed 7 years ago

EvanZ commented 7 years ago

I followed installation instructions and get to the point where I can type and get autocomplete results, but when I select one it doesn't get pasted into the text editor (or terminal) I'm using. Here is the log from Hammerspoon console:

To isolate, can you try in TextEdit? Add a debug line right after local current = with print(current). That should output something like hs.application: TextEdit (0x61000065e808). You could also try adding print(choosen.text) right before hs.eventtap.keyStrokes to make sure it's sending the right keystrokes.

Oh, and make sure to enable Hammerspoon in Accessibility.

I tried looking up these two NBA players (I'm a Warriors lol!).

hs.application: TextWrangler (0x7fc12ae81588)
-- Loading extension: fnutils
draymond green
-- Loading extension: eventtap
hs.application: TextWrangler (0x7fc12ae24c38)

Hmm. Well it's obviously doing something. Hard to say why it's failing to output.

EvanZ commented 7 years ago

Ok, now it seems to be working with TextEdit and the Terminal app. Just not TextWrangler for some reason. Oh, well. Thanks!

Dunno if TextWrangler does something special with keystrokes. It should be indistinguishable from the keyboard :shrugs:
