How do I make a Safari window active using AppleScript (elegantly)?

问题 While one can simulate command-shift-` using System Events to change windows in Safari, is there no better way to do this with AppleScript? I can change the index of Safari's windows, this changes their ordering on the screen but does not make them active. Suppose you have two Safari windows containing about:blank -- how could you bring the one in the back to the front and make it active? Granted, command-shift-` works, so maybe there only needs to be one way to skin this cat. 回答1: I also

问题 I use Time Tracker For Mac as my, well, time tracker. It has a menu bar item which I want to be able to access via keyboard shortcut. I found a way to click the item with GUI scripting: tell application "System Events" to tell process "Time Tracker" click menu bar item of menu bar 2 end tell Unfortunately the script does not return success unless I acted on the menu (i.e. pressing Enter or Esc key). So if I want to trigger the down arrow key... tell application "System Events" to tell process

问题 I'm writing an Apple Script that ultimately will mark commercials for all iTunes exports from EyeTV. But I'm running into a simple problem with AppleScript paths, which the EyeTV app returns as recording locations.

问题 I'm wondering if there's a straightforward way of getting a list of all keyboard shortcuts present in the menubar of an other application (if possible also from closed applications). I'd like to use this in a simple Python application that I'm writing to simplify the process of configuring my Wacom-tablet for different applications. It doesn't really need to be a "clean" solution, I'm happy if I can just get the list produced once and then read it into my program. I've fiddled with

Optional parameters in AppleScript handlers

由 我的梦境 提交于 2019-12-10 09:26:10
问题 The Applescript documentation says that as of Yosemite, parameters for handlers can be made optional. From the section 'Parameter Specifications': Labeled parameters may be declared with a default value by following the formal parameter name with :literal. Doing so makes the parameter optional when called. For example, this declares a make handler with a default value for the with data parameter: on make new theClass with data theData : missing value This handler can now be called without

问题 If I run: tell application "Maps" set miniaturized of windows to false end tell ...this works fine Yet, when I run: set applicationName to "Maps" tell application applicationName set miniaturized of windows to false end tell ...I get: Maps got an error: Can’t make |miniaturized| of every window into type reference.
