Currently I need to copy a link to file A with Hook, find/open file B to paste file’s A link to it. But in many situations file B is already in Hook’s database, linked to other resources and I can find it in the Search feature.
I couldn’t find a way to paste that link from file A to the Search result without opening it, invoking Hook again and then pasting the link. Is it possible or did I just think about a feature request?
Select the result and press the right arrow key to navigate to that context, ready to paste and hook.
Hi Steve. Unfortunately the Search results don’t accept going “inside them” by using the right arrow (on the UI or the keyboard). And they don’t accept Command+V also.
Disregard my previous reply, because I tried that in the regular window, which isn’t the Search Results one
The right arrow triggers a Focus command. It’s listed in the menu of each search result.
I think CogSci Apps should add Hook to Copied Link, etc. to the search results menu.
There is a → in their menu, indicating the shortcut.
If pressing the right arrow key does not work, there’s a bug.
Pressing the down arrow on the keyboard doesn’t move the focus from the search textbook to the results list (which is what I expected).
Clicking with the mouse on the search result highlights it, but pressing the right arrow on the keyboard or the Focus arrow on the UI don’t do anything.
So I guess it’s two bugs 
.
missing feature rather than bug. But we do plan to add it.
Ah, if the search result is a bookmark with no hooks, you can’t focus in on it. (there are 2 schools of thought about whether it should).
Adding search results menu items would (will) solve that.
Great. I guess it’s already being implemented, because pressing the Command key on the keyboard shows ⌘0, ⌘1 shortcuts on the resuts.
In my case there is at least one existing hook for the search results.
thanks for that screencast. I’m logging a bug for it.
I think I see what is going on. I think this is a special case (which would still qualify as a bug, which I have logged, but rarer). You tried to ‘focus’ on a search result that was the focus when you invoked search.
If you can reproduce the issue for other items, please let us know.
@LucB It happens on other items also. I narrowed it down to this: it happens only to the first result.
@LucB is there a way I can paste only the link, not the title? my most workflow only require me to use the raw link, because I would modify the copied title anyway, so now I see I lack a way to only paste the raw link.
Ah! I just realized I can use the mac hotkey command+option+v to do it! However, it would be cool if Hook has option to either only copy raw or only paste raw (this might be on the mac side).
Welcome to the Hook Productivity Forum , @aaron_a . There’s plainClip app which “Removes formatting from copied text” : Projects | bluem.net. I’ve been using it forever.
