Some scripts for Glyphs font editor – tested with v2.3 only.

Put the scripts into the Scripts folder which appears when you choose Open Scripts Folder from the Scripts menu.

For some scripts, you will also need to install Tal Leming's Vanilla. Here's how.

In Glyphs 2.0 or later, go to Glyphs > Preferences > Addons > Scripts and click the Install Modules button. You are done and can skip the rest of these installation instructions.

Thanks to Georg Seifert and Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer for their help and for providing a great API and example scripts.

These are AppleScripts that do exactly as they say. Assign them to a keyboard shortcut through Automator as a Service or with Fascripts (this is what I use, Automator seems to repeat the action if they keys are pressed a tiny bit too long), Quicksilver, etc.

• Redo 10 times
• Undo 10 times

(These scripts could be used in any appliction actually)
