This triggers the expected response but also includes a line feed that does
not occur if I type Control-T from the keyboard in the Terminal application.
Is there a way to send the Control-T sequence from the script without also
triggering a line feed?
-Jeffrey Berman
Does the lack of a response to this question mean there is no way to
suppress the line feed when sending a control-key sequence to Terminal?
No. It simply means that nobody knows or has cared about doing this -
AFAIK "do script" is not intended to send keystrokes to the Terminal,
but to execute scripts. Have you already had a look at Terminal's
dictionary? (I'm still running on 10.1.5, so I can't say anything
helpful on that - I suppose you're running 10.2 already?)
I don't know how "do script" is implemented, but as you say that the
above works for you, I suppose it just pipes everything to the
Terminal and adds a line feed. If reinterpretation of the linefeed as
whitespace is enough for you then you could just try and append a
backslash to escape the linefeed:
do script ((ASCII character 20) & "\\") in window 1
