Dialogs
alert
alert is very similar to a javascript alert dialog. It simply displays a dialog with the provided message.
map "<Cmd-p>" do
alert("Hello, world.")
end
confirm
confirm displays a dialog message with “Yes” and “No” buttons that return true or false, respectively.
map "<Cmd-L>" do
lock_screen if confirm("Lock Screen?")
end
input
input displays a dialog with a input text box. The input text is then returned.
map "<Cmd-n>" do
my_text = input()
end
input can also take a block, passing in the input text.
map "<Cmd-n>" do
input do |answer|
send("<Cmd-Shift-3>") if answer == "screenshot"
end
end
input can even take a hash that when a key matches the input text, the corresponding value code is ran.
map "<Cmd-n>" do
input(
"rel" => lambda{reload}
"ls" => lambda{lock_screen}
"x" => lambda{send("<Cmd-q>")
"screenshot" => lambda{send("Cmd-Shift-3")}
)
end
See Mnemonics for advanced usage of input dialog.
prompt
prompt is the same as input but you can provide a message to display.
map "<Cmd-n>" do
prompt("Please enter command") do |answer|
send("<Cmd-Shift-3>") if answer == "screenshot"
end
end
