Could it be that there's an itsy bitsy scripting addition involved here?
Yikes! So there is! I'm just not functioning at 100% today, my apologies!
The scripting addition needed for this command is Akua Sweets. Here is the
relevant dictionary entry from Akua:
Akua Interface Sweets V1.27 : Various additions dealing with user events,
menus, windows and controls.
input state : Get/Set the input state (state of keys, mouse and button).
input state [ Input State Rec] -- The input you wish to post as if user
input (if any). Use a Rect instead of a point as the location (with
button:down) to drag a box (or double click if the top-left and bottom-right
are the same). Use button:false to click at the location given (instead
[background check boolean] -- Defaults to TRUE, this ignores
modifier keys when in the background.
Result : Input State Rec -- The current state of affairs.
I had assumed that it was a Standard Additions command. My bad. So,
Maxime, if you want this functionality, you will first need to install Akua
Sweets.
