Sub question: how can I get System Events to reliably send a textfield’s action?

Frankly, I should have known the answer was ‘delay 1’…

set searchString to "something that will return a hit"

tell application "Notes" to launch

tell application "System Events"

tell application process "Notes"

set its frontmost to true

set aButton to its text field 1 of UI element 10 of toolbar 1 of item 1 of window 1

tell aButton

set its focused to true

delay 1 # this old chestnut again... :(

set its value to searchString

action "AXConfirm"

end tell

Bill answered my 3rd question; I’ve answered my 2nd question.

Anyone up for Q1 and Q4?
