Once homebrew is installed, you can type brew install cliclick in the Terminal application to install cliclick. An easy way to install cliclick is with homebrew. I’ll also assume that you have installed cliclick. I will use FastScripts in these examples, but Keyboard Maestro works just as well. There are five actions in ReadCube Papers where I’ve found a keyboard shortcut useful:īelow, I will describe how to automate each action. Note that if you have Keyboard Maestro, the first 4 scripts can be done more easily with the found image command rather than using the approach with AppleScripts described below. Most of these scripts require a third-party tool called cliclick, which provides a means to automate mouse clicking and dragging, as AppleScript has poor native support for mouse automation. These scripts require a third-party application like FastScripts or Keyboard Maestro to work because they allow you to assign a keyboard shortcut to each script. Being an electron app also means that you typically interact with the application by clicking a mouse rather than keyboard shortcuts widely supported in native apps.īecause I find reaching for the mouse frustrating, I made some AppleScripts that automate the pointing and clicking required for interacting with electron applications. While this app has many great features for researchers, it is developed in electron and is missing some usability experience of an app developed in the operating system’s native language. The annotation tools are also ideal, as you can make notes and highlights in PDF documents and see a complete list in a sidebar clicking any item in the sidebar takes you directly to the corresponding annotation in the PDF.
It has excellent support for looking up metadata for papers and finding related papers similar to others in your library. ReadCube Papers is a bibliographic software package for Mac and Windows users. I recently published an article detailing some AppleScripts that I use for Zotero, and I thought it would be useful to show additional scripts that I used for ReadCube Papers.
