AppleScript support for IntelliJ IDEs

How to AppleScript in IDEA

This plugin, provides support for writing and executing scripts with an AppleScript language in IntelliJ-base IDEs.

Working with scriptable applications

• Use predefined Live Templates: “tellap”, “useapp” and create your own:

• Use Intention Action for creating application dictionary if the application was not found:

Choose either the application bundle or application dictionary file if the application is not installed but it’s dictionary file is available (xml or sdef extensions):

The action is also available via File menu (File | Load Dictionary).

For example, you can choose dictionary file to load when working on Windows or Linux. Running scripts will not be possible but intellisense will work:

• Run scripts:

Use other IntelliJ IDEA features while working with code:

• Basic Code Completion
• Code navigation
• Structure tool window
• Find usages
• Rename refactoring
• Browsing documentation
• Code reformat
• Customize Colors and Fonts

There are still some fixes TODO:

• parser tuning, including case-insensitivity
• resolve for some cases with different visibility scopes in scripts
• auto-formatting of generated dictionary file
• code generate action for common constructs (user handlers, OS interaction scenarios, other statements)
• your reports and suggestions ☺
