Select Placeholder in Template

DEVONthink Automation

Hello,

in my Template i have a Placeholder like <#Name#>.
I want to create a new Document from this template.
Then i want to select the first placeholder with a key combination to replace the placeholder by typing some text.

A solution for voodoopad can be found here. http://michael-mccracken.net/2007/03/a-script-for-text-placeholders-in-voodoopad/

I’d like to have this in Devonthink Pro.

Thanks,
Lars

Selecting text/placeholders via AppleScript isn’t possible but AppleScript templates can automatically create & handle placeholders. See for example viewtopic.php?f=20&t=10879

In case you want to enter the text on your own, you could use the “display name editor” panel of DEVONthink Pro (or the standard “display dialog” AppleScript command) and add the result to the placeholders.
