Hey XB,

What do you mean bombs?

Fails?

Crashes?

You have double characters in shift -- shifft.

After fixing the spelling error, I ran the following script that uses the
freeware utility Key Codes from Many Tricks Software.

https://manytricks.com/keycodes/ <https://manytricks.com/keycodes/>

Key Codes shows that all the keystrokes are going through.

--------------------------------------------------------

tell application "System Events"

    tell application process "Key Codes"
        set frontmost to true
    end tell

    delay 1

    keystroke "a" using {control down, option down, shift down}

end tell

--------------------------------------------------------

Best Regards,
Chris
