Spent most of the day trying to figure this one out, been all over
developer.apple.com. It's a mac -- it shouldn't be this hard <ARGH!>
I'm trying to write a short, sweet and simple Apple Script to turn
off the Global Function Keys in Keyboard Control Panel Version 8.5.
Logic tells me it should look like this:
on run
tell application "Keyboard"
set Hot Function Key Settings to False
end tell
end run
A similarly written AppleScript works for turning off font smoothing,
and it's pretty rudimentary. The error generated indicates the name
I'm using for my object 'Hot Function Key Settings' is not what the
developer of Keyboard 8.5 decided to call it. I tried to pull the
dictionary for Keyboard 8.5, but was informed by script editor that
it was not scriptable (Apple, however, lists it as a scriptable
resource in the AppleScript Guide). I also looked at the Scripting
Extensions for Keyboard Addition, and its dictionary didn't contain
anything obvious.
So I delved into developer.apple.com, and while I was able to dig up
several references to the Keyboard Control Panel, none of them
covered 8.5.
Any help/work-arounds would be extremely appreciated... it's become personal.
