[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1911452, member: 396914"] True. But, if you don't want to take that route, maybe it would help to know "why" you want to do this. There may be a solution other than trying to automate it as you are doing. So, WHY do you want to be able to do that? For Finder, you could write a script to go to the Utilities folder and launch Terminal from there. Not elegant, but could work. Just so you know, not all apps play nicely with the keyboard, which is probably why your script didn't work for some apps. [/QUOTE]
