Usage

1. Copy a block of code into your clipboard.
2. Switch to your Google Doc.
3. Hit the paste hotkey you'll bind in the Installation section.
4. Select the language from the popup chooser.
5. It will paste a code block into your doc!

Installation

Pre-requisite: Ensure you have Hammerspoon installed.

Clone the repo:

mkdir -p ~/.hammerspoon/Spoons
git clone [e-mail]:dbalatero/GoogleDocsCodePaste.spoon.git \
  ~/.hammerspoon/Spoons/GoogleDocsCodePaste.spoon

Run the install script to ensure you have all the right dependencies:

~/.hammerspoon/Spoons/GoogleDocsCodePaste.spoon/bin/install

Finally, add a snippet of code to your ~/.hammerspoon/init.lua:

local docs = require('GoogleDocsCodePaste')

-- Bind this to whatever mods + key you want:
hs.hotkey.bind({'cmd', 'ctrl', 'alt'}, 'v', docs.pasteToGoogleDocs)
