@Nostravinci What kind of support? It does highlight AppleScript

I want to be able to create/write and run AppleScripts that affect/control Itsypad.

Please clarify more on this – would also be great to see some examples how other text editors are controllable via AppleScript?

Have a week? We can broach the subject during that time. :)

Simple example: I use TaskPaper (a text-based task manager) to capture links from Safari.

Using the utility Keyboard Maestro, I type a single keystroke, which executes my AppleScript.
the AppleScript grabs the title of the current webpage and the URL from the front tab in Safari, and formats them in the following manner, adding a dated tag at the end:

…it then prepends that at the top of a specified list in a document called links.txt
The AppleScript then saves the document.

I use this as a sort of "read later" system, and it allows me to manage my open tabs much better than if I kept them open in Safari all the time.

Thanks for the detailed explanation – that's a great workflow with Keyboard Maestro and TaskPaper.

AppleScript scripting support (with a proper .sdef dictionary) is a significant undertaking, and it's not on the roadmap right now. There are higher-priority features and fixes I'd like to focus on first.

That said, I can see the value for power users. If this gets more interest from others, I'll reconsider the priority.
