The Talon is a macOS service which allows you to highlight one or more JIRA issue IDs in almost any macOS application, press a keyboard shortcut of your choosing, and view all of those JIRA issues in your browser.
For example, if you're viewing commit messages in your terminal and come across a JIRA issue ID like FOO-123, you can highight
it and press your shortcut to view it, no copy-and-pasting required.
-
Clone the repository.
-
Double click on the "View JIRA Issues" file, then click Install.
-
Configure your JIRA server's URL by running the following command in a Terminal (replacing the example URL):
defaults write com.owenstrain.talon.jira url https://jira.example.com/browse/ -
Define your global keyboard shortcut:
- Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services
- Find "View JIRA Issues" in the list (under the "Text" section) and assign it a keyboard shortcut that won't conflict with normal keyboard shortcuts (e.g. ⌥⇧⌘X)
-
Select some JIRA issue ID(s) in almost any app and press your keyboard shortcut (you can select a whole block of text that happens to contain some issue IDs and the regex should find them correctly).
