How to make a Key Press extension in PopClip — TextExpander example

How-Tos & Guides

At the moment you can only specify one key press, although having the ability to specify a key press sequence may be a good enhancement :thinking:

However you can do it a bit more awkwardly with a JavaScript extension and the pressKey() method like this:

# popclip Hook 
name: Add Selection to Hook
icon: H
javascript: |
  popclip.pressKey(util.constant.KEY_SPACE, util.constant.MODIFIER_COMMAND|util.constant.MODIFIER_SHIFT)
  popclip.pressKey('Q', util.constant.MODIFIER_OPTION)

(I only have Hook lite version, and also I still don’t actually understand what Hook does yet :upside_down_face:, so I wasn’t able to test it properly…)
