Insert org-mode links to items selected in various Mac apps
This code allows you to grab either the current selected items, or
the frontmost url in various mac appliations, and insert them as
hyperlinks into the current org-mode document at point.
This code is heavily based on, and indeed incorporates,
org-mac-message.el written by John Wiegley and Christopher
Suckling.
Detailed comments for each application interface are inlined with
the code. Here is a brief overview of how the code interacts with
each application:
Finder.app - grab links to the selected files in the frontmost window
Mail.app - grab links to the selected messages in the message list
AddressBook.app - Grab links to the selected addressbook Cards
Firefox.app - Grab the url of the frontmost tab in the frontmost window
Vimperator/Firefox.app - Grab the url of the frontmost tab in the frontmost window
Safari.app - Grab the url of the frontmost tab in the frontmost window
Google Chrome.app - Grab the url of the frontmost tab in the frontmost window
Chromium.app - Grab the url of the frontmost tab in the frontmost window
Brave.app - Grab the url of the frontmost tab in the frontmost window
Together.app - Grab links to the selected items in the library list
Skim.app - Grab a link to the selected page in the topmost pdf document
Microsoft Outlook.app - Grab a link to the selected message in the message list
DEVONthink*.app - Grab a link to the selected DEVONthink item(s); open DEVONthink item by reference
Evernote.app - Grab a link to the selected Evernote item(s); open Evernote item by ID
qutebrowser.app - Grab the url of the frontmost tab in the frontmost window
Installation:
Add (require 'org-mac-link) to your `.emacs' or `init.el'.
If you are using `use-package' add the following:
(use-package org-mac-link
:ensure t)
Optionally bind a key to activate the link grabber menu, like this:
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda ()
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-link-get-link)))
Usage:
Type C-c g (or whatever key you defined, as above), or type M-x
org-mac-link-get-link RET to activate the link grabber. This will present
you with a menu to choose an application from which to grab a link
to insert at point. You may also type C-g to abort.
Customizing:
You may customize which applications appear in the grab menu by
customizing the group `org-mac-link'. Changes take effect
immediately.
You can also add grab handlers for other apps, just by updating
`org-mac-link-descriptors', for instance:
`(push '("W" "ord" my-word-handler t) org-mac-link-descriptors)'
