I did just tolerate the quirkiness of this dialog but you prompted me to provide my own feedback.

FASTSCRIPTS ALTERNATIVE PLUS

For example, ¡ plus com (⌘), opt (⌥), tab (⇥), shift (⇧), or return (↵) makes them easy to remember and type. Don't be afraid to use more than a couple of defining characters. Paste the copied character into the second, "With," column.Ĭhoose whatever is easy for you to use for the leading character, but I recommend sticking with alternative characters you get with the ⌥ modifier key, especially ones easy to type and not something you use regularly.Give it a unique string of characters you can remember in the first column headed by "Replace." I use ¡com – the upside down exclamation then com – for ⌘ you can get the upside down exclamation with ⌥1.Click at the bottom of the current list.Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Text.Insert a character into Note or document and copy it.If you have a few you use frequently, avoid the Character Viewer entirely: I use several characters often (⌘, ⌥, ⇥, ⇧, ↵, etc.), so I created keyboard replacements for them. Really, we just want someone at Apple to review the viewer and fix the UIX issues. OR, make the dialog a pane instead so that with a keystroke or click it pulls down from the window frame and goes away when a character is inserted. Not always stay on top, frequently obscuring content forcing users to move it around, slowing productivity.Adds the chosen character to the clipboard rather than inserting into the app active when the dialog was invoked so the user can paste into whatever document or text box the user wishes, even multiple times.Adhere to all the app-level rules (such as following normal commands from menus or keyboard shortcuts including quitting, closing, and the App Switcher).Free-standing (currently, if you open the dialog with one app active, it won't be available to another app unless the dialog is invoked again with the second app active).If you decide to submit this feedback to Apple, as I will do, I suggest to you that you suggest to them: Make the Character Viewer dialog a full-fledged app: However, I could have just clicked once on the close button and be done with it. When I could make it active, it required two clicks (either a double click or click, pause, click) on the title or tool bar. In either case, selecting a character to insert did not make the window active. Here's the rub: sometimes I could not make the dialog active in the Notes app but I could consistently with Safari.

In your example pic, you can tell it is not active because the window management buttons are grey instead of red, grey, and green (the middle, normally yellow, button is not available because there is no full screen mode for dialogs). I tried several things and what I noticed is that it matters if the Character Viewer window is active.

FASTSCRIPTS ALTERNATIVE TRIAL

To find an AHK replacement on Mac it'll probably be through trial and error, patience, and ultimately what ends up working best for you.That is a good point (you can make at /feedback). For example, I've seen CliClick used along with a custom AppleScript to achieve a certain functionality that it might not provide otherwise. It's fairly easy to create something with an AppleScript, or a shell script for just about anything imaginable in OS X. * I use Text Expander and FastScripts together and can't live without them. KeyMo - mostly for mapping keys exclusively to your mouse.įastScripts - maps hotkeys/user-definable keyboard shortcuts to AppleScripts Typinator - similar to TextExpander, although some features vary. TextExpander - scriptable text completion / hotkey / macro app (supports AppleScript, Shell scripts) NET rewrite of AHK ported to OS XĬliClick - command-line application that will emulate mouse clicks I haven't tried all of the following, but might as well mention them as they might be worth checking out: It could be a matter of coding your own solution, modifying something that's open-source, or using a combination of applications that will work together.

Even though AHK is seemingly absent on Mac, the functionality that AHK provides on Windows can likely be achieved in OS X.
