Re: Keystroke

Yadvinder,

Generally a keystroke can be represented by the character the keystroke produces (e.g., "e" for keystroke e). There are some typographic effects whose effect is triggered by their key name (e.g., return for inserting a return, tab for inserting a tab). There are Unicode capabilities but that is a larger topic and information is available for it.

If you are entering text into an application two line of text might be:

"We twa hae run about the braes" & return & "And pou'd the gowans fine;" & return

If you are using the GUI scripting capabilities of Applescript, there are some example files included in your OS X install. These are located in '/Library/Scripts/UI Element Scripts/'. Open the Key Down-Up.applescript to see an example of suing keystrokes and their modifiers with GUI scripting.

Happy New Year

What is the keystroke for "TAB" key
Any idea from where I can find the keystrokes for rest of the keys?
Or maybe Key Code
