⌨️ Keyboard Shortcut

Type text and keyboard shortcuts with powerful clipboard manipulation capabilities.

Configuration

• Shortcut String: The text and commands to execute using the modern {curly brace} syntax

Basic Usage

Hello World{enter}

Plain text is typed as-is. Special keys use {curly braces}.

Clipboard Manipulation

The Keyboard Shortcut action includes a powerful clipboard buffer system:

Buffer Transforms

Apply a transform from RoboCore's Textulon engine to the Robo buffer in place. Same engine, same results across the Keyboard Shortcut action, the Transform Text action, and the Textulon app.

Example: ROT-13 the current field

{cmd+a}{cmd+c}{pause 100}{grab}{rot13}{put}{cmd+v}

Select all → copy → grab into the buffer → ROT-13 the buffer → put back to clipboard → paste. The chain works the same way for any of the buffer transforms above.

Advanced Example: Archive.is URL

Create an archive.is link from the current URL in a web browser tab:

{cmd+l}{cmd+a}{cmd+c}{grab}{insert before http://archive.is/}{trim after ?}{put}{cmd+v}

                

This:

1. Copies selected text ({cmd+c})
2. Grabs it to the buffer ({grab})
3. Removes everything after the ? ({trim after ?})
4. Prepends http://archive.is/ ({insert before ...})
5. Types the result ({paste})

🔄 Transform Text

Apply a text transform — JSON beautify, ROT-13, URL decode, case conversion, line dedupe, and many others — to a selection, the whole field, or the clipboard, then paste in place, copy, or open the result in Textulon for review before paste-back.

Configuration

• Title (optional): label drawn on the key. When blank, the transform name is used.
• Source: Selected Text (sends ⌘C first), Whole Field (⌘A ⌘C), or the current Clipboard.
• Transform: any RoboCore transform — or Auto, which picks the best match.
• Output: Paste in place, Copy to clipboard only, or Open in Textulon.

Double Click

A second configuration block runs when the key is double-tapped (two presses within 300 ms). Set Transform to None — Disabled to turn it off. When enabled, the key shows two titles — primary on top, double-click on bottom — with a smaller transform icon between them.

• The double-click block has the same fields: Title, Source, Transform, Output.
• Single click always runs the first block; double click runs the second when enabled.

The chosen transform comes from the same RoboCore engine as the {rot13}/{json beautify}/… commands in the Keyboard Shortcut action and the Apply Transform button in Textulon, so the result is identical across all three entry points.
