Hi Eric, The link provided in my initial post contained a sample script. The hypertext was stripped away even though you retained the HTML formatting, so perhaps it only showed up as a hyperlink in my version? Very strange. I will include the actual URL below, but if the list mods, or someone else is following, I am going to restore the hyperlinked text from my original post and am very curious whether it is also stripped away. If hyperlinks are indeed being stripped, then a lot of my posts have not been nearly as descriptive as I intended.
Anyway, the URL is: http://www.devdaily.com/blog/post/mac-os-x/applescript-simulating-enter-key There you'll find the following script which simulates pressing Enter: Quote -- simulate pressing the Enter key key code 36 Unquote Finally, I restored my initial post, so the words: "This little example describing how to simulate the enter key" should show up as hyperlinked in everyone elses in-box. If not, I suggest that the administrators consider changing that filter. And to those who would argue that blind people can't deal with HTML formatted emails, I would suggest that in this day and age, it is as ubiquitous as in-door plumbing, hence it may be a good time to upgrade your mail app <smile>.

Hi Geoff, Thanks for this. If I ever find the script all ready made I'll assign a gesture. In the meantime I'll stop searching the menu area for the enter key or spacebar keystroke. Best.

This is because like Sarah, I always install a new OS on a clean partition, and have finally gotten around to backing things up, but I digress. So much for disclaimers, but I can only speak for Lion when saying that the trackpad commander does not directly support what you're trying to do. I assume that ML has not changed in this regard. All is not lost, however, because a potentially powerful feature in trackpad, keyboard, numpad and navkey commanders is the ability to attach scripts or autamator workflows to specific gestures or key strokes. You'll find this under the "custom commands" menu. I did some cursory googling on the string "applescript enter-key" and found several references, but this little example describing how to simulate the enter key seemed to be the best starting point, as it links to a way to ascertain all the keycodes.

This would be helpful in iTunes. I looked tour the help documentation and through Voice Over utility but did not find a way to assign this to a gesture. Is this possible? if so how? > > Eric Caron > > > <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> > > To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net > > You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> > or at the public Mail Archive: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>. > Subscribe to the list's RSS feed from: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/maillist.xml> > > The Mac-Access mailing list is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free! > > Please remember to update your membership options periodically by visiting the list website at: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/> > <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> > > To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net > > You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> > or at the public Mail Archive: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>. > Subscribe to the list's RSS feed from: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/maillist.xml> > > The Mac-Access mailing list is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free! > > Please remember to update your membership options periodically by visiting the list website at: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/> <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
