Thanks Bill


So, AXConfirm should be the correct pick. It was, as it turned out, the first one of the three I originally tried. Still isn’t reliable, though.

Academic question: what’s the difference between ‘click’ , action ‘AXPress’ and action ‘AXConfirm’?

From the NSAccessibility protocol API Reference: "func accessibilityPerformConfirm() - Simulates pressing Return in the element" and "func accessibilityPerformPress() - Simulates clicking the element." From the System Events Processes Suite: "click v : cause the target process to behave as if the UI element were clicked"
