Some help sending OPML code snippet

Tim_H · 15 Oct 2023, 20:57

I want to set a shortcut for use in the Workflowy app.

Desired result:
shift + enter pastes the following code in the program:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<opml version="2.0">
<body>
<outline text="

" />
</body>
</opml>

I tried a few different ways to get this working in AutoHotKey, but none of them do the trick.

Disclaimer: I am a total newbie and the above code is not mine – I copied it from a Workflowy forum here

Among other things, this is what I tried:

Code: Select all

#ifWinActive ahk_exe Workflowy.exe

		+Enter::
		Send,<?xml version="1.0"?>
		Send,<opml version="2.0">
		Send,<body>
		Send,<outline text="&#10;&#10;" />
		Send,</body>
		Send,</opml>
		return

#IfWinActive

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

#ifWinActive ahk_exe Workflowy.exe

	+Enter::Send, {Text}
	( LTrim
		<?xml version="1.0"?>
		<opml version="2.0">
		<body>
		<outline text="&#10;&#10;" />
		</body>
		</opml>
	)

#IfWinActive

Hello @Rohwedder,

Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work. :/

What does the LTrim function mean exactly?

Here's the desired OPML code one more time:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<opml version="2.0">
  <body>
    <outline text="&#10;&#10;" />
  </body>
</opml>

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33

#If WinActive("ahk_exe Workflowy.exe")
+Enter::
SendInput,
(
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<opml version="2.0">
  <body>
    <outline text="&{#}10;&{#}10;" /{Esc}>
  </body>
</opml>
)
Return
#If

Hello @mikeyww,

Thanks for your help! Unfortunately it still doesn't work.

Here's a screenshot from Workflowy:

You mentioned I needed a specific version of AHK, though. I tried checking which version I have, but can't seem to find it anywhere.
Can you guide me?

Thanks!

If the only issue is indentation, then you might need to adjust that in the program or the script.

Maybe

Code: Select all

#If WinActive("ahk_exe Workflowy.exe")
+Enter::
SendInput,
(Join`r
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Hello @mikeyww, Thanks for staying with me!

Unfortunately, this seems to give a similar result...

Eh... Any more ideas?

I would see whether there are any program configuration options for indentation. That is my only thought.
