I am using Keyboard Maestro and within that using applescript for following action:

  • Copy IP address from anywhere
  • Open terminal
  • Use copied IP into applescript

  • ssh on IP which was copied from somewhere

    tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script "ssh & the clipboard" -- this always opens a new window

    end tell

Kindly help me with the solution on how I can use "copied" text within applescript to do ssh, as I dont want to write direct IP within script

    What is the question? – vadian Apr 17 '18 at 16:52
  • I want to automate SSH command. Copy IP address, press Keycombination (Control+Shift+T on mac) and it should open terminal, type ssh user@copied_ip and password. Previously I was using AutoHot key which does this but AutoHot key doesnt work on MAC, so looking for alternatives – Vipin Choudhary Apr 18 '18 at 02:38
  • It's still unclear what you are asking. What does *fixing this* mean? – vadian Apr 18 '18 at 03:50
