Thanks, that's helpful. I see that "paste" is in the BBEdit AppleScript
Dictionary, but my AppleScript is extremely rusty. I tried to make the
process more efficient by simply adding "paste" like this:
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
tell front text window
set the clipboard to (get selection as string)
if live search bar visible is true then
set live search bar visible to false
end if
set live search bar visible to true
paste
end tell
end tell
...but it didn't work; I still need to command-v. Why is that?
Thanks,
Lawrence
