Does it hijack some config file and route what you're typing through an intermediate program or something?
@monokrome it injects its own code into the Spotlight frontend — you can read more here: https://github.com/nate-parrott/Flashlight/wiki/How-Flashlight-Works-Internally
do i do something wrong?
thanks in advance for your help and sorry if it's a stupid question
@RottenKid not sure — does the Messages app open when you try to send?
I run 10.10.3
@nate-parrott i was trying to evaluate whether this would ever try to be an open source replacement for quicksilver/alfred in terms of plugins that can complete "actions" with hotkeys. it could start as something as simple as a hotkey that autocompletes "send an email" or "create an event"
there's also a board for requesting plugin ideas here: http://ideaboardapp.appspot.com/flashlight-plugin-ideas
hi! I'm using the FlashlightTool, which is great. but how do I debug my python file? or at least output a warning or something I can trace? I have the "Errors and Warnings" window open, and I've tried
print, the warning import, and the raise exception command but nothing shows up in the window.
btw, I found
import logging quite useful. seems there are several ways to output things in Python so a mention of this specific module would help a few people I think
I added a note about the logging in the wiki. https://github.com/nate-parrott/Flashlight/wiki/Creating-a-Plugin#detour-debugging
Currently using evernote plugin, but wondering how I could use keyboard to further select and browse the searched results?
Or is this kind of secondary browse and search ever supported in spotlight?
