OK, I like a challenge and I am avoiding auditing a course for accessibility.
The apple script in that OCR is:
begin script
on run {input, parameters}
set thedate to (current date) as string
tell application "System Events"
keystroke thedate
end tell
end run
end script
I am fairly confident from the “shell” version I posted earlier that the
contents within the Tell… end tell
can be replaced with return theDate and the script should run.
the Date in the above is an AppleScript array, so you should be able to extract
first, second , third elements from it or also convert it to a date object.
Also, if you do want to send the keystroke command-Q to an application the
keystroke command would be the way to do that and that is why you have to
specifically grant permission to the script as it was originally written. But
if you are just working with text within the document, the accessibility
options are not required. Another thing to note, is that you can also create
dictation commands by changing the quick action to dictation commands.
Oh, what fun!
