This software uses UI scripting to search the active library in EndNote X for selected text in a word processor or text editor.
This software review is about Search EndNote for Selection, a useful Applescript that enables users to search for selected text in their word processor within the active library of EndNote X. With this tool, users can quickly and easily access relevant information and citations without having to manually search through their library.
It is worth noting that the script is customizable for other applications by changing the value of the theEditor property from Mellel to the displayed name of the desired application. However, users should keep in mind that the script uses GUI scripting to capture selected text in Mellel, and it relies on the command-C shortcut. If the selected application does not have this shortcut or if it has been reassigned, the results of the script may be unpredictable.
Additionally, users should note that the script was designed for Mellel, which does not support AppleScript. If one's preferred application supports AppleScript, it is recommended that the script be modified accordingly to safely capture selected text through script commands.
Overall, Search EndNote for Selection is a time-saving tool for anyone looking to streamline their research process and make use of the powerful features of EndNote X. With its customizable options and reliable performance, this script is a valuable addition to any researcher's toolkit.
