Funny, I say that everytime !

The given link talks about key codes. As far as I recall, key code is the hardware 'address' of a key. If I take the 'a' letter, it will have one Key Code for an US (standard) keyboard, another for my French (standard) keyboard and I do not talk about Dvorak or every other specific keyboards (countries, hardware manufacturers).

 

Building a script based on Key Code (execpted if it is for your own use) is a bit hazardous IMHO.

 

To Jim:

Thank you for your tip: man osacompile. I prefer the URL because I can print easilly the data from there:

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/osacompile.1.html

 

The printing result is far better that what one can think using: man osacompile >OSACompile.txt
