Issues with Taskpaper "TP To Quick Entry" script

If the TP-To Quick Entry script is not working properly, please try the following:

The Quick Entry Panel (QEP) does not open

Make sure you edited the AppleScript to use the same keyboard shortcuts as the one you use for the Quick Entry Panel (QEP) of Taskpaper. The lines to modify should be the first two lines of code, where it says "Edit your shortcut here".

Example 1: Your keyboard shortcut is CMD+., the lines should be modifier to be:

set _shortcutModifier to {command down}
set _shortcutKey to "."

Example 2: Your keyboard shortcut is CTRL+OPT+Spacebar

set _shortcutModifier to {control down, option down}
set _shortcutKey to space

The QEP opens but no text is pasted in

1. Make sure you triggered the script with a supported application on the foreground (see the script for the list). It works for me when triggering with Launchbar. Other launchers might creates issues (like Apptive, Alfred, Fastscripts, etc) if they register them selves as the front-most application. Adding a short delay before the following line in the code might help:

set _app to GetCurrentApp()

2. If the QEP opens but no text is pasted in, try pasting the content of the clipboard somewhere. If it contains what should have been pasted in the QEP, then there could be a timing issue with the script. Try playing with the delays around lines 107–109. If the content of the clipboard is wrong then see the point above about the front-most application issue.
