Add a hotkey to copy current line

TaskPaper
1

I would love if there was a hotkey added to copy to clipboard the current active line in TaskPaper.

Right now I am forced to emulate three keystrokes to do that:

And I really dislike that.

Thank you.

For something like an Execute JavaScript action in Keyboard Maestro, you could use a script along these lines:

( In the withOptions object, change the textProperty value from bodyString to bodyContentString if you don’t want to copy the Taskpaper bullet-hyphens, colons and tags )

(() => {
    'use strict';

    const main = () => {

        const tp3Context = (editor, options) => {

            const main = () =>
                unlines(
                    concatMap(
                        x => {
                            const txt = x[options.textProperty];
                            return options.skipBlankLines && 0 ===
                                txt.length ? (
                                    []
                                ) : [txt];
                        },
                        editor.selection.selectedItems
                    )
                );

            // GENERIC FUNCTIONS FOR TP3 CONTEXT ----------
            // https://github.com/RobTrew/prelude-jxa

            // concatMap :: (a -> [b]) -> [a] -> [b]
            const concatMap = (f, xs) =>
                xs.reduce((a, x) => a.concat(f(x)), []);

            // unlines :: [String] -> String
            const unlines = xs => xs.join('\n');

            // TP3 MAIN ---
            return main();
        };

        const
            ds = Application('TaskPaper')
            .documents,
            lrResult = bindLR(
                ds.length > 0 ? (
                    Right(ds.at(0))
                ) : Left('No TaskPaper documents open'),
                d => Right(d.evaluate({
                    script: tp3Context.toString(),
                    withOptions: {
                        skipBlankLines: true,
                        textProperty: 'bodyString' // or 'bodyContentString'
                    }
                }))
            );
        return lrResult.Left || (
            lrResult.Right
        );
    };

    // GENERIC FUNCTIONS FOR JXA CONTEXT ------------------
    // https://github.com/RobTrew/prelude-jxa

    // Left :: a -> Either a b
    const Left = x => ({
        type: 'Either',
        Left: x
    });

    // Right :: b -> Either a b
    const Right = x => ({
        type: 'Either',
        Right: x
    });

    // bindLR (>>=) :: Either a -> (a -> Either b) -> Either b
    const bindLR = (m, mf) =>
        undefined !== m.Left ? (
            m
        ) : mf(m.Right);

    // MAIN ----
    return main();
})();

See:

⌃S (Control-S) with ⌘C should do what you want in two keystrokes.

Of course, Keyboard Maestro can make this into one keystroke.

Works perfectly. Thank you.
