current frontmost app gets them:
set myText to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
tell application "System Events"
keystroke myText
end tell
In the Script Editor window it works flawlessy, but If I try to
execute the script from the Script Menu when I am in a TextEdit
document, for example, it doesn't work.
It works only inside Script Editor.
Andrea,
This is a known issue with some cocoa apps. They will not respond to
scripts run on script menu.
So, provided you do not run it from script menu when TE s the active
application, I believe it will work!
