AppleScript is broken in Firefox 3

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Firefox 3 is in Release Candidate 1 stage. But it shouldn’t go out yet. Yes, there are improvements but I think there’s one big regression: its AppleScript is broken.
There’s two pieces of data that’s critical for several apps to get from Firefox: the current URL and the current Title. The […]

If WebnoteHappy shortcuts sometimes don’t work on Leopard…

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

WebnoteHappy’s shortcut keys sometimes don’t seem to work on Leopard. By default, these are Command-Shift-D for Add, F5 for Quick Add, and Command-Shift-Space for Search. There seems to be a simple workaround for this:

Choose the menu item WebnoteHappy > Preferences…
Click on the Shortcuts toolbar button
For each of the Hotkeys (the other word I […]

I’ve been getting emails from users asking about Leopard compatibility. Yes, WebnoteHappy is Leopard-compatible.
