MacOS – creating a resident workflow with automator

I don't have the keyboard shortcut, but I just finished an Actionscript that adds the email Subject as the Reminder Title, the email Body as the Reminder Content and then adds a link to the actual email at the bottom of the Reminder. Hope this helps!

on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Calendar" to activate
tell application "Calendar"
    set miniaturized of window 1 to true
    tell application "Mail"
        set theSelection to selection
        set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection
        set theurl to "message://%3c" & theMessage's message id & "%3e"
        set thedes to theMessage's content & "Show in Mail " & "message://%3c" & theMessage's message id & "%3e"
        set input to theMessage's subject
    end tell
end tell
tell application "Calendar"
    tell application "Reminders"
        make new reminder at end with properties {name:input, body:thedes}
        tell application "Reminders" to activate
    end tell
end tell
return input

end run

I usually use scripts like this instead of Automator services:

try
    set old to the clipboard as record
end try
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using command down
do shell script "export LC_CTYPE=UTF-8; pbpaste | /usr/local/bin/pygmentize -g -f rtf | pbcopy"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
delay 0.05
try
    set the clipboard to old
end try

• If the clipboard is empty, trying to get it results in an error.
• pbpaste and pbcopy use ASCII if the locale variables are unset. I couldn't get pygmentize -f rtf to work with non-ASCII characters though.
• Without the delay set the clipboard to old would sometimes be run before the text would get pasted.
