launchbar shortcuts
Published by kyle June 12th, 2005 in projectsif you spend much time sending email it sometimes gets a bit annoying opening mail, opening a new mail message, and typing the first few characters of the address until the auto-complete catches up. Sometimes i tab out of the field so quickly it doesn’t auto complete.. so here is a little tip for people that send a bunch of email to the same person everyday.
in your home folder, make a new folder, name it scripts. now add that folder to your launchbar configuration for indexing. after you do that, open a text editor and put in the following code
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
<plist version=“1.0”>
<dict>
<key>URL</key>
<string>mailto:email@domain.com</string>
</dict>
</plist>
now save the file to the scripts folder you made and name it email@domain.mailloc
obviously everywhere i put email@domain.com you would put whatever email address you want.
after you do that you should be able to double click that file, or access it through launchbar and have a new mail message created immediately. bringing a 3 second operation down to 1 second.
there are also ways to add CC and BCC and subjects to the emails, but you can figure that out with google’s help.
here is a direct link to the file you can use to work off of
Now see, spending all that effort to save a second here and there on emial is why folks think Debbi Ann is your girl friend and you need things like www.gk2gk.com/
maybe im out of the loop here, but who the crap is “debbi ann?”
also, ive sent approx 400 emails so far this month, 12 days, saving time on email is actually quite productive.
and whats the deal with anonymous? we’re all friends here.
