Hotkey to Paste Image


Recommended Posts

I've been using an applescript to copy files, so here is a version for your purpose that copy an image file and paste it to your front application. Since you said this is for an email I thought this was for an email signature, so I added an example for that using the snippet trigger (the hotkey one is set as well, but actually, any trigger could work...)

For those that want to see the script directly, here is the main script to copy the file to the clipboard (just put this in a Run Script set to Applescript), the rest is just a simple cmd+v key combo for the pasting.

 

on run (argv)
	set filePath to "/path/to/your/file"
	set the clipboard to POSIX file (POSIX path of ((POSIX file (filePath)) as alias))
end run

 

Hope this helps!
