Hi--
I am keyboarding movie transcripts, so I have QuickTime and TextEdit windows up side-by-side. Most of the time, TextEdit is frontmost while I am typing. I occasionally click on the QuickTime window to get a bit more dialog, or to back up a skoash, then click back to the TextEdit window to resume typing.
Grabbing the mouse to change context slows me down, so I thought it might be fun to write an AppleScript to control QuickTime with a couple of hot keys while most of the keyboard input goes to TextEdit.
Controlling QuickTime to play, back up, and stop seems easy, and I suppose I can use System Events to pass all the other keystrokes on to TextEdit.
But how can my AppleScript app get the keystrokes from my keyboard? Can System Events get them for me? I don't see that function in its dictionary.
