trying to use keystroke


  • Subject: trying to use keystroke

I'm trying to use the keystroke command to send the delete key, btu
can't get it to work.
I can get it to send characters, and characters with modifiers, but
the syntax for types of keys is eluding me.

This script does not give a syntax error, but doesn't seem to do
anything when it runs.

tell application "System Events"
get properties
tell process "TextEdit"
set frontmost to true
end tell
keystroke delete key

end tell

I'm running 10.2.8, whatever version of applescript that may be!

Cheers

Nick
