Guess what Bill! I finally got my other projects deployed and have a
little time (not much, but a little:) to play with this idea again.
I've downloaded the UI Browser from your site and must say it looks
*really* cool. One "question" which may end up being a show stopper for
me though ... I need to be able to send function keys at certain times
(<F2>, <F3> and <F4> mainly). With my limited toying today (I've only
had it for half an hour or so), it looks like that might be a problem?
It certainly doesn't like sending them as keystrokes.
Is this possible? I wouldn't mind having to edit the script by hand to
make this happen, so if you (or anyone else) knows a way to send
function keys (maybe their raw key codes?) to the Terminal.app
(actually *through* it, but I think the "MacTermFunctionKeys" setting
takes care of that for me), I'd greatly appreciate it.
I do understand it is possible for me to remap those function keys as
other key combo's (<control><option>3 or something like that), but that
really isn't an answer for me because those function keys (<F3> and
<F4>) are used throughout the system. If I were to remap them, the user
in question would have to use that combo when he needed <F3> or <F4>
functionality, and that simply won't go over well.
Hoping for a workable solution with my fingers crossed ...
