Hotkeys to Snapz Pro or Grab

Hello,

I'd like to be able to send hotkey combinations like Cmd-Shift-3, or any other combination for that matter to Snapz Pro X to stop video recording or use a similar key combination to invoke screen capture, open Grab, etc. I'm not so much interested in working around this (unless it's by programatically sending keystrokes) as I am actually using AppleScript to do it for me.

Here's what I've tried, and I'm running Panther.

tell application "System Events"
	keystroke "3" using {shift down, command down}
end tell


Ok, so that obviously didn't work, although intuitively I thought it would. I also tried a variation where I nested a "tell process "Snapz Pro X" inside the "tell application" but that didn't work either, and I really didn't expect it to.


Is the problem that I'm not supposed to be sending this to "System Events" or that AppleScript just can't do this? I read in the Snapz Pro docs that they registered their hotkeys to be intercepted and processed down on the Carbon level, but I'm not sure if that's relevant?

If you don't have Snapz Pro X, could someone comment on how to get something like Grab to invoke via using a hotkey combination Cmd-Shift-4 by applescript sending they keystrokes (or any other programatically way of doing it)?

If this isn't possible, has anyone else had to work around it before? I've been looking in CarbonEvents.h a bit.

Matthew
