Open Tweet in Browser
Summary: Opens the selected tweet in the default Web browser.
Requires: Hibari
Suggested Key Binding: Command-Option-B (like in NetNewsWire)
Install Location: ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Hibari/
Last Modified: 2019-10-02
Description
This script uses GUI scripting and Hibari’s “Copy Tweet URL” command to add a command that opens the tweet in your browser. It tries to preserve your clipboard contents, but this may not always work perfectly due to limitations of AppleScript.
