Use Shortcuts to Change Evernote Fonts?

[agboh]

Hi all. I am thinking about using Alfred workflows to create shortcuts for Evernote. What I want to achieve is:

 

Select a text > press a shortcut ( say, control + b ) > change the selection to a preset format ( say, red & bold )

 

Is it possible to set up? Any suggestions?

I'm not saying this isn't possible but I am not 100% sure how to accomplish the bold portion.

 

tell application "TextEdit"
	set the color of every word in document 1 to {60000, 1, 1}
end tell

 

That will set the color of the selected text to red. The only issue I'm running into is the bold. Using AppleScript to simulate Cmd+B doesn't seem to work.

Thanks! I think your applescript works with TextEdit, but is there any way I can make it work in Evernote?

I didn't have Evernote installed so yes, my script works with TextEdit because that's what I had to test with. DId you try it with Evernote, replacing "TextEdit" with "Evernote" in the script?
