Open quick input panel via applescript
droussel
Is there a way to open the Quick input panel via applescript? I am
using launchbar pretty much for everything and would prefer to call ip
up and type something like "yqi" to call up a "Yojimbo Quick Input
Panel" script then to learn and assign a keyboard shortcut to it. I'm
not that good at AppleScript so maybe it is obvious but I can't find
how to do it...
Thanks,
Daniel

I'm looking for an alternative too. Since installing Snow Leopard, I can't
even reassign a shortcut in preferences. When I type in Command-F8, I get
Command-J.

I toggled the Fn key and it's working now. This is a new key for me and
wasn't aware I had selected it.

Are you using a Microsoft Keyboard Diane?? I often get tricked by the
evil F-Lock key too :->

Yes, the F-Lock key is new on this keyboard.

Sorry for the delay - catching up on a backlog of mailing list mail.
It isn’t currently possible to open the Quick Input Panel via
AppleScript. I’ve logged a bug so we can make this properly scriptable
in the future.
In the meantime, I’ll privately send you a unsupported[1], temporary
hack you can use.

This is now possible in Yojimbo 2.1:
tell application "Yojimbo"
open quick input panel
end tell
