paste into multiple fields with Quicksilver?
George Schroder | Dec 19 2007
During my normal work day, I do a lot of work in a web-based database application. And for the really repetitive data entry items, I have set up triggers to paste the “canned text” into different fields. But I have yet to figure out how I can paste into multiple fields at once with one trigger. Is this possible? For example: Right now… I manually place my cursor in a field… hit Cmd+Opt+O to paste the first bit of text… hit the [Tab] key on my keyboard… hit Cmd+Opt+P to paste the next bit of text… hit the [Tab] key on my keyboard… hit Cmd+Opt+[ to paste the last bit of text. But what I want to do is just place the cursor in the first field… hit Cmd+Opt+O and have it automatically paste-tab-paste-tab-paste. But for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to get Quicksilver to Tab over to another field. Can someone shed some light on this? thanks! 1 Comment
