Macroing sequence to save to Calibre? Please?
Is there a way to streamline collecting text from a website to add to calibre? For example, let's say I want to add as an e-book information from a website. I've been copy/pasting into a word document, saving as real text into my Calibre library, then converting. Is there any way to streamline that copy/paste/save? When you're speaking in terms of hundreds of sites, this is very tedious. I've tried just saving the page as html or text, but it randomly seems to strip the text of quotes and other marks
Edit- I seem to have found a fairly simple way of doing this. There's a firefox add-on called text to file. You simply highlight the text you want, right click and choose 'text to file'. You can tell the program where to save the text too.
Which is all well and good, but now I really need a way to shorten the time it takes me to highlight the text. I want to be able to position the cursor, then ideally macro the sequence control+shift+end to highlight all text below that point/right click/select save to text
I'd even just settle for a way to assign the control+shift+end to one keyboard key.
This is something I could do in an eye blink in Office or Access, but I'm struggling in Firefox. Is this even possible to accomplish? The macro add-ons I'm played with don't even register the keyboard sequence or are website specific.
