That's correct.

browser => emacs

Probably the best is to use an Applescript like below, and save it in
~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Safari. You can kick off this
Applescript using a variety of methods (Quicksilver, menu bar, etc.)

http://www.tuaw.com/2006/08/08/tuaw-tip-enable-the-applescript-menu/


tell application "Safari"
set theUrl to URL of document 1
set theName to the name of the document 1
set theOrglink to "[[" & theUrl & "][" & theName & "]]"
set the clipboard to theOrglink
end tell

activate application "Emacs"

-- this last bit is iffy, since Emacs will not always have an org file
--  open in the frame that pops up.
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "y" using control down
end tell

Hope this helps.

Good evening Haider.

thank you so much for your input, this helps a lot!! :) Now i have a working solution.

I used the script you suggest with a small change :

tell application "Safari"

set theUrl to URL of document 1

set theName to the name of the document 1

set theOrglink to "[[" & theUrl & "][" & theName & "]]"

set the clipboard to theOrglink

end tell

activate application "Emacs"

tell application "System Events"

keystroke "v" using {command down}

keystroke return

end tell

activate application "Safari"

and then I opened it with the application Fastscripts (http://www.red-sweater.com/fastscripts/). No i have the option to add the bookmark by keystroke  to the 

actual open Emacs window.

Regards,

Daniel!
