It helps a ton! As is my new habit, I was updating my replacement this morning
and I thought, “wait, there is actually a 'save' button that I have to press
that’s not being addressed by my script.” Your correction takes care of that
button. Thanks a bunch, Axel! I’ll think about you every time I DON’T type in
today’s date! 😎
tell application id "com.apple.systemevents"
tell application process "System Preferences"
tell window "Keyboard"
tell tab group 1
tell scroll area 1
tell table 1
tell row 1
tell UI element 2
tell text field
1
set
focused to true
keystroke today
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
Best,
John G
