Hi,

I wonder why the following doesn't work?

Is there another way?

tell application "System Events"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "esc" using {command down, option down}
delay 4
beep
end tell

TIA,

Hello

You are trying to issue the STRING "esc" with two modifier keys.

try to issue :

tell application "System Events" to keystroke character id 27 using {command down, option down}

Of course, you may define the variable esc and keystroke it :

set esc to character id 27
# …
tell application "System Events" to keystroke esc using {command down, option down}
