Getting the Clipboard (Into TextMate)

DonovanChan edited this page Sep 27, 2012 · 5 revisions

After copying some FileMaker objects, the trick is getting the objects into TextMate as quickly and easily as possible. The methods I've found for accomplishing this are presented below in descending order (favored to less favored).

AppleScript

This AppleScript is basically the same as the bundle command, except that you can run it from anywhere instead of opening up a new TextMate document. Store it in your dock, in your scripts menu... anywhere. I like to call it using Quicksilver.

Get_Clipboard.zip

TextMate Command

This is the default way of pulling clipboard contents into TextMate. The command is called Get Snippet from Clipboard. You can also use the keyboard shortcut ⌥-⌘-B.
