There is a "Make New Sticky" applescript in the Pages section of this
forum.
Cmd+Shift+Y is the default system-wide shortcut for making a new sticky
out of selected text. Nothing can match its reliability.
So, the only case in which you would want to use the applescript is when
you don't have any selected text i.e. you want some place to type in.
The applescript in the Pages section is time-consuming (since it spends
time storing and restoring your clipboard) and even unreliable for users
who have large amounts of text on their clipboard or selection because
of applescript's behavior of jumping to a next line(which includes exit
code) of code before waiting for the execution of the previous line.
I guess, this script is a better alternative:
(Set it a shortcut like Cmd+Shift+<Option or Ctrl)+Y. So that
Cmd+Shift+Y can use selection to make a new sticky note and
Cmd+Shift+<Option or Ctrl)+Y can make a empty new sticky note.)
tell application "Stickies" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Stickies"
tell window 1
delay 0.5
keystroke "n" using command down
end tell
end tell
end tell
But, if you still want to use Quicksilver, then use this:
using terms from application "Quicksilver"
on process text t
tell application "Stickies" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Stickies"
tell window 1
delay 0.5
keystroke "n" using command down
tell scroll area 1
set value of text area 1 to t
delay 0.5
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
tell application "Stickies" to quit
end process text
end using terms from
