I just discovered that Script Editor 2 compiles the \r in the 'keystroke
"\r"' line in the following script to a real carriage return. It shouldn't
do this, since "\r" is a valid AppleScript escape sequence for carriage
return. But the carriage return is still sent and works as expected.
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "TextEdit"
keystroke "\r"
end tell
end tell
But if you switch to using the 'tab' and 'return' keywords as your personal
scripting style to avoid this cosmetic issue, 'tab' is compiled to 'tab
group'. But it still sends a tab character when you run the script.
Apologies if these have already been reported.
