Of course. And I know how to call the dialog from a script -- but then it waits for user input. I'm trying to automate the process

It would be part of a larger script doing a lot of preprocessing. Ultimately I'll be using the endnotes to create running footnotes I originally planned on using doScript to call his script but wanted to make sure there wasn't a DOM method to do it.

Is there a direct way to convert footnotes to endnotes in a script? (I'm familiar with PK's script -- I'm looking for a wat to do it without having to call his script) Thanks

You can listen for clicks when text is selected (either an insertion point or actual text) -- I have several right-click extenstions I wrote that do that. My problem is that I need to add guidelines around PART of a PDF page placed in ID -- to indicate what part of the PDF the facing page is a translation of... Thanks for the suggestion though

I can oprn the style options dialog for the currently selected style (using app.menuActions.itemByID(8481).invoke();) But How do I open the style options dialog for a SPECIFIC style? I want to: 1) duplicate the selected style -- not a problem 2) open the Style Options dialog for the new style -- this is where I'm stuck. ' I suspect Edit “^1”... is how -- but how do I pass the new style name? ("body copy" for example) (I know I could create a new text frame, add text, apply the new style, select that, and then call Style options...but that seems an awkward way of doing it) Thanks

Hi Uwe Using the following code with diag=true the keydown events are caught. When it's false they aren't #targetengine "streamdeck";
var diag=false;
var w = diag ? new Window("dialog"):new Window("palette");
var edit = w.add("edittext");
edit.active = true;
edit.characters = 30;
var runButton = w.add('button {text: "test"}');
runButton.onClick = function () {
$.writeln("test");
}
$.writeln(1)
w.addEventListener("keydown", function (kd) { pressed(kd) });
edit.addEventListener("keydown", function (kd) { pressed(kd) });
$.writeln(2)
function pressed(k) {
$.writeln(k.keyName);
$.writeln(k.keyIdentifier);
$.writeln(k.shiftKey ? "Shift pressed" : "Shift not pressed");
$.writeln(k.altKey ? "Alt pressed" : "Alt not pressed");
$.writeln(k.ctrlKey ? "Ctrl pressed" : "Ctrl not pressed");
}
w.show();

Apparently keydown events only work with dialog windows -- if I change my code to make it a palette it doesn't catch the event even if the palette has the focus...

Hi Uwe Streamdeck -- it's a remote conrols hardware device. It can send text strings to any app. (It can also communicate via HTTP -- but I haven't managed to get ID to work as a HTTP Server (I'm on a mac)) I want to write a monitor script that looks for certain text strings coming in (for example "CSBold" and then assigns the "Bold" character style) This avoids needing to set up keyboard shortcuts in each doc

app.addEventListener("keydown", function (kd) { pressed(kd) }); app.activeDocument.addEventListener("keydown", function (kd) { pressed(kd) }); both fail -- "keydown" is not a recognized event type Is there a way to add a keydown event listener at the app level? (Trying to write a script that will process keystrokes sent by an external app...)

The client book has two stories per page, both with footnotes. He wants all of the footnotes at the bottom of the page instead of the bottom of each story text frame...top frame's footnotes then bottom frames's footnotes (I'd originally thought to change the text frame footnotes to fillColor=page... but ID recomposed the page when I do that changing the layout...)

Current code (using parentTextFrames) case-1: // no span varselText=fn.characters.itemByRange(fn.characters[0], fn.characters[-1]); try{ selText.duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_END, tf.texts[0]); } catch(e) { alert(e);} break; case 0: // spans var start=fn.lines[0].characters[0]; var lines=fn.lines.everyItem().getElements(); for(vari=0; i<lines.length-1; i++) { if(lines[i].parentTextFrames[0] !==lines[i+1].parentTextFrames[0]) { //we have a split footnote here varend=lines[i].characters[-1]; break; } } var selText=fn.characters.itemByRange(start, end); selText.duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_END, tf); break; I still need to add the code to get the second part of the footnote

\My script need to be able to copy the text of a footnote. Works fine when the entire footnote is on the page -- but when the footnote spans pages the entire footnote text is copied. Is there some way to determine what part of the footnote text is one one page and what part is on the next? Or even better -- to access the footnote text frame? Thanks

Fro the official docs: conn=newSocket; // listen on port 80 if(conn.listen(80)) { // wait forever for a connection varincoming; doincoming=conn.poll(); while(incoming==null); // discard the request conn.read(); // Reply with a HTTP header incoming.writeln("HTTP/1.0 200 OK"); incoming.writeln("Content-Type: text/html"); incoming.writeln(); // Transmit a dummy homepage incoming.writeln("<html><body><h1>Homepage</h1></body></html>"); // done! incoming.close(); deleteincoming; } else{ alert(conn.error); } returns "I/O error" as soon as it runs (on OSx) Anyone know how to get it listening?

Thanks for the list. It's incredibly helpful in general. Is there some way to have a generic event handler that would catch ALL events received? I could add that to a paragraph style and then monitor it to see what events/messages it receives... (Just for development of course)

you can supposedly add events to p/c Styles. Is there a list of those styles available? (Or some way to generate a list of all ID events?) Thanks
