                a one line shell / applescript to open VS Code in current Finder window
              
          
    Have you ever been tooling through your file system in Finder and you get
to a directory where you would like to open VScode to edit the files there.

You could grab the proxy icon and drag it to the VScode icon on your Dock
or you could go up one directory and then drag the folder icon to the dock
and there are probably other ways.
But I wanted to be able to do this with a single button press on my Streamdeck.

So I made this one line shell script and wired it to a Streamdeck button:

    How to pass a FileMaker field value to a shell script on MacOS using Applescript

Description:

Say you have a FileMaker database and you have a field whose value you wish to pass to a shell script on your Mac.
The Filemaker client is running on MacOS.  It doesn't matter if the Filemaker database is local (on the Mac) or the FileMaker database is hosted on a FileMaker server.
I had a "barcode" field and needed to pass that barcode to a shell script as a parameter (or argument).  Well the good news is this CAN be done but the syntax is not particulary easy to figure out especially if you're not fluent in Applescript and/or FileMaker.
