Features

Build AI Conversations with the New chat Prompt

You can use the new chat prompt to create a chat interface for your scripts. The chat prompt returns a messages array that you can inspect to see the messages that were sent and received.

It supports keyboard navigation so you can press the up/down arrow keys to navigate through the messages and copy/paste them. You can also use shortcuts the same way you would with other prompts.

Open chat-hello-world in Script Kit

// Name: Chat Hello World

import "@johnlindquist/kit"

let messages = await chat({
  onSubmit: input => {
    chat.addMessage(`You said, "${input}"`)
  },
})

inspect(messages)

The kit-examples repo (bundled with new installs) has an example of using the latest ChatGPT model:

The eyeDropper Color Picker

You can now use the eyeDropper function to pick a color from anywhere on your screen. It returns an object with sRGBHex to align with Chrome's Eyedropper tool.

Note: Unfortunately, windows restricts color picking to the foreground window. Still investigating a workaround.

Open testing-get-color in Script Kit

// Name: Testing Get Color

import "@johnlindquist/kit"

await hide()
let value = await eyeDropper()
await editor(value.sRGBHex)

Node 18.12.1

Script Kit now bundles Node 18.12.1. (Previous scripts ran on Node 16.17.2).

New Settings in ~/.kit/db/app.json Features

• "mini" boolean - Use Script Kit in a much smaller window
• "termFont" string - Set the font for the terminal
• "cachePrompt" boolean - If you experience issues with the prompt position caching logic, disable it so is always show in the center of the screen
• "convertKeymap" boolean - Script Kit auto converts to your selected OS keymap (dvorak, colemak, etc). There have been a few reports of this conflicting with Portuguese keyboards. If you experience issues, disable this setting.
• "searchDebounce" boolean - by default, Script Kit will debounce when your choices list has over >1000 items. It's mostly a precaution and you can disable it if you'd like.

The defaults are as follows:

{
    "mini": false,
    "termFont": "monospace",
    "cachePrompt": true,
    "convertKeymap": true,
    "searchDebounce": true
}

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where theme was reset to the default when waking from sleep
• Fixed the Open in Script Kit urls for Windows users
• Fixed Calculator sizing from main menu
• await npm("package-name") will now mark a package as an "external" dependency in TypeScript so you can use import statements for packages that aren't installed yet and your script will still compile
• Other minor bug fixes
• Fixed installation issues when dealing with certs/proxies

Experimental

toast()

You can try out the experimental toast("Copied") feature. I'm still working out the API, so there's no "onClick" or anything, but you should be able to pass the other toast properties (this uses react-toastify) explained here
