Can a script be assigned to a hotkey? I wish to perform some repetitive edits at various places in text files, and I put the cursor to where I want the edit, but then how do I trigger Actiona to perform the edits without leaving the text file to execute Actiona?
Thanks for any help.
Hotkey assign?
Re: Hotkey assign?
I'm using Actiona myself to automate a local development workflow.
I can see that your requested feature would be useful for automating editing so I decided to explore how I might build this into my own workflow.
But the Actiona action "Key" is designed to emulate key presses.
After digging around further I found that using a clipboard manager might achieve the desired effect.
I decided to try CopyQ.
https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/releases
For my Ubuntu 16.04 I installed this release ...
https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/releases/ ... _amd64.deb
and installed using GDebi Package Installer.
Now I can setup a number of text clips and with editor open simply select the clip to paste from a CopyQ drop down menu in top bar.
I did find a way to do this in Actiona but CopyQ seems easier to deploy.
Also copyq can be controlled from an Actiona running script.
Here are some commands I found.

So to conclude I suggest using Actiona script to interact with and control CopyQ. At least that is my current thought.
