![]() ![]() ![]() Version 3 has been updated with a whole host of new features and makes it even more of a “must have” for anyone who uses AppleScripts on a regular basis. That menu gives you access to scripts in the default Scripts folder, so you can view and edit them easily.įastScripts does that and a whole lot more. If you’ve ever done more than dabble with AppleScripts, or any other scripting on the Mac, you’ll know that macOS’ Script Editor gives the option to put a Scripts menu in your menu bar. Now I know how awesome the previously overlooked tools is.Quickly find, execute, or edit scripts using this handy menu bar utilityįastScripts 3 can create an app-specific Scripts folder for the active application on your Mac. #FASTSCRIPTS APPLICATION SCRIPTS FOLDER MAC#I read Mac Power User, listen to Rosemary Orchard’s podcasts about productivity and automating some tasks, and others. Prior to this day, I never thought that I’d use Apple Scripts and these kind of macOS utility tools helps my day this much. So I ask ( tell) Safari to define a lastTab variable with the number of available tabs on the active Safari window as its value. That’s the expected behavior too, because we’d want the key binding to keep looping on the available tabs.įor the Previous Tab script, it gets a little complicated, because there is no property or method to get the length of available tabs that I know of. When you use the Next Tab script and reach the last tab, you’d encounter error because the last tab + 1 is nowhere to be found. The scripts are straight forward, one of the advantages of Apple Script’s strange syntax. You’d want to change the Safari Technology Preview too. Hereby the script to change tab to Next Tab: My solution is by using the Apple Script and FastScripts too. I tried using Mac’s built in App Shortcuts modifier (System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts → App Shortcuts) to modify it, but I’d lose the original key bindings. I’d like to add the already familiar key bindings that exist on Firefox and Chrome, that is ⌘ + ⌥ + ← for Previous Tab and ⌘ + ⌥ + → for Next Tab. ![]() The default key bindings to change tab for Safari is ⌃ + ⇥ for Next Tab, and ⌃ + ⇧ + ⇥ for Previous Tab. More info on FastScripts, you can check their FAQ here.īecause we’ve covered the issue about quitting, now moving to the next issue. Obviously you’d want to assign it to ⌘ + Q. What you should do is move the scripts generated by Script Editor to FastScripts’ folder for Safari and assign your preferred key bindings for it. FastScripts is awesome! Credits to red sweater. You’d want to put the script to Script Editor.app, and -as suggested by John, use FastScripts. Notice that you might want to change from Safari Technology Preview to only Safari. You can read it on this post: Quit Confirmation for Safari on MacOS via .įor your convenience, I will share the slightly modified script here:Įnter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode I browsed the internet, and found that John Gruber already shared the solution for this issue. It works, but I am curious whether there’s another way. Previously, I use App Shortcuts modifier (System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts → App Shortcuts) and assign it to ⌘ + ⌥ + Q. This often happen when I want to close a tab with ⌘ + W, but my clumsy ring finger misses that W. The other losses are the lack of accidental quit prevention and alternative key binding to change tab.įirefox and Chrome has option to warn us if we press ⌘ + Q accidentally. Vimari is okay, but it doesn’t work correctly on GitHub. One of the main losses is the lack of good browser extension to simulate Vim key bindings. It is the beta equivalent for Safari that features the latest updates, including the «Tracker Blocker» that will be released to public on macOS Big Sur. Safari Technology Preview is my primary web browser when I am not developing website. ![]()
