    anyone know applescript?

    just want a simple applescript that tells an application to open command "option apple F"

    this calls up a text entry box -

    then I want the script to enter a number ( i will preset this number )



    thats it

    If you're looking to automatically start a program and trigger basic keystrokes, then it's probably something you could do yourself using something like Sikuli Script?

    thanks!

    I am using OSCillator - which combined with TouchOSC editor is a really great way to program button son your ipad to trigger stuff on your computer ( mac / PC ) can be Midi - or keystrokes or applescripts...

    actually this is brilliant! and easy! ( easler than applescript ahhahah )

    I am trying to move a step ahead - I need to trigger 2 things,,


    fire a key stroke - option command g ( goto in my softwhere )

    then a predefined number into the little box the key stroke recalls

    I will then literally make a hundred of them - each of which recalls a specific location ( for example )

    I then make a 100 buttons - then I never have to type 4 keys to get where I need to go,,,,

    seems quite simple - I am trying to work - design interface and also research applescript


    got very tired fingers!
