Why do you want to simulate a key combination? Wouldn't it be easier just to have your popup menu use the "copy", "paste", "cut" & "undo" commands directly?

They don't work for some reason that I can't understand. The keyboard commands for Control-C, and Control-V work perfectly but when I do a menuPick from a popup menu it didn't work. I spent hours on this. Perhaps I missed something. I just wanted a right-click menuPick to work on the selected text in a field of the same stack. It was suggested to use an offScreen button like this:
Create a popup button with the menus you need and put it offscreen... (I think hiding the button does only work on a mac...?)
Then script:
on mousedown whatmouse if whatmouse = 3 then ## right- or control-click! popup btn "you btn here" end if end mousedown
In the right-click menuPick I tried copy & paste. Perhaps I'll try one more time. I gave up on turning the locktext or textlock true and then false.
So I just tried now and with the mousedown handler moved from the text field to the stack the handler opens the popup menu but I lose the selection so there is nothing for the cammands to work on now.
Maybe I'll figure that out soon.
