Amongst a wide array of other things that we try to enable, we provide
commands that execute scripts to turn on Zoom, to Zoom In and to Zoom
Out.
I haven't tested this in a while but just got a report that they no
longer work.
The simplified versions look like this:
-- Toggle Zoom
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "8" using {command
down, option down}
-- Zoom In
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "=" using {command
down, option down}
-- Zoom Out
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "-" using {command
down, option down}
Well Zoom Out actually does still work and after poking at things a
bit I got Zoom In to work by changing it to:
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "+" using {command
down, option down}
but I cannot get Toggle Zoom to work.
Really I have 2 issues:
how do I toggle the Zoom setting in Universal Access via
AppleScript, preferable without having to open System Preferences? (if
anyone could clue me in as to why it was broken in one of the recent
releases of 10.5 that would be appreciated)
why doesn't 'keystroke "=" using {command down, option down}'
execute Zoom In?
thanks,
jeff
