Well, at least you can delete and then empty the trash. For me,
the biggest
issue is how to issue key commands to the keyboard like with Sdndi's
Additions,
etc. How are we to get through a simple "OK" button? Or, has everybody
else figured out how? Mouse clicks, key commands, return, etc.
this is a problem unix commands won't solve. it's simply not
as easy as it was on Mac OS 9 because of memory protection.
Timothy Bates has suggested we could get the system to push
keys (again, not with unix commands), but it would be far
more useful to access the actual windows and controls.
QuickKeys developers have hit this wall hard and the result
is that QuickKeys X is nowhere near as fun as it used to be.
