In fact, the types of workflows you can create in Alfred is essentially limitless and there are even already built recipes online, for different applications that you can download. The reason that I bring up Alfred is because you can create this same exact workflow within Alfred and assign it to a system wide hotkey all within the same application without writing and code at all (if you consider the example that I just gave to actually be writing code). Within Alfred you can do things such as copy text from one place, then copy more text from somewhere else and append them together, do anything that you can do in Spotlight search, plus much, much more. It can completely take over spotlight for you (in fact I deleted the hotkey to bring up spotlight search (cmd + space) and assigned that hotkey to open Alfred instead. At this point I would probably be lost without it. There is also a tool called Alfred that is outstanding I use it many times on a daily basis. This is probably the easiest way of accomplishing your desired task while writing the least amount of code as possible.
Next, use Automator to trigger the above AppleScript: Replace "Hello World." with your desired text, but make sure to keep the quotation marks around whatever text you input as that is what is making the data type a string. You could create this using AppleScript and run it using Automator.Ĭreate a script: tell application "System Events" to keystroke "Hello World."
