I’m new, so don’t hassle me if I’m asking something stupid
I search for a keyboard shortcut to follow a link in an rtf-style document in DEVONThink Pro
(like it is done in VoodooPad by typing Apple-L)…
possible Scenario:
wikiLink is a wikistyle link
by move the (non-mouse-)cursor on it, and press Apple-l (lowercase “L”) follows the link to the linked page.
Is it possible to achieve this kind of functionality?
Keyboard shortcuts are getting to be in short supply. DT Pro has many more commands than does VoodooPad. Apple-L is already used for creating replicates.
I guess I’m confused. Don’t WikiLinks in DevonThink appear as clickable, blue, underlined links, so you can just click on them to follow them? Why would you need a keyboard shortcut?
Peharps Menu master or Butler can help you? (check on macupdate.com)
With them, you can assign or change Keyboards Shortcuts for many (if not any) action.
I’m not a fan of keyboards shorcuts (I don’t always remember which does what). In my opinion, small panels are easier to use, but this is a matter of taste.
My problem is, that there isn’t a menu entry for “follow link at cursor” which I could assign a shortcut to…
So this won’t help me… but thanx anyway

Thanks for the welcoming, @BLUEFROG.
Ok, that is good to know. Any chance it could be in the next release? It makes life easier for those using DEVONthink as a personal Wiki.
I suppose that you’d have to somehow select the link to open. If using the mouse, why not simply click on the link? If not with the mouse, how do you choose which link to open?
I would like to be able to open the link that’s under the text cursor. It would only need to be a menu item that I could assign my own shortcut to with Keyboard Maestro. It would minimize moving back and forth from keyboard to mouse.
I got close to making this myself with Better Touch Tools, since it can open any context menu item with a keyboard shortcut, but the context menu pops up wherever the mouse cursor is, not the text cursor.
This is only a matter of convenience for me, but it’s also an accessibility feature for many so I hope it’s added at some point.
