outlook

The community/apps/outlook directory contains Talon scripts for interacting with Outlook, Microsoft's email and calendaring application. There are two files in this directory, each designed for a specific operating system.

  • outlook_web.talon provides commands for the web version of Outlook. It is triggered when the window title contains "Outlook" and the OS is Linux, using the tag browser. It includes commands for writing, sending, and managing emails, as well as navigating different parts of the Outlook web interface using keyboard shortcuts. For example, "new message" triggers key(n), and "send this message" triggers key(alt-s). This file provides a very complete set of shortcuts based on the official Outlook keyboard shortcuts.

  • outlook_win.talon provides commands for the Windows desktop application. It is triggered when the application name is "Outlook" and the OS is Windows. It has a shorter list of commands than outlook_web.talon, covering basic actions like archiving, creating new emails, accessing the calendar, and replying to messages. For example, "archive" triggers key(alt h o 1), and "new e-mail" triggers key(ctrl-n).
