Hi Bob,
I hear ya. However, so many other cross-platform features are already in
place, it just would be nice to have the ability to send keys, too. After
all, keyboards are still the norm for desktop computing... ;-)
Thanks,
- Boo

It's my opinion that it is outside the scope of what Livecode is. And as
mentioned in other posts there are ways to hook into existing OS features to
do this anyway. Livecode is not QuicKeys anymore that QuicKeys is Microsoft
Office or Visual Basic or anything else. One Program to rule them all, and
in the cpu bind them eh? Didn't we get rid of that blackguard at the end of
the third age? :-)

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all of the feedback. Actually, I have played around with AutoIt
in the past, although I have never actually used it. Instead, I usually
opt
to use Visual DialogScript (see: http://www.dialogscript.com)... VDS is a
somewhat defunct language/IDE these days, but still quite useful on
occasion.
I was hoping that LiveCode had some kind of built-in capabilities for
sending keys to Windows, Mac, and Linux applications. In my opinion, this
is
a feature that should be implemented in a future release.
Thanks again,
- Boo

On Windows, you can automate anything and everything (except thinking)
with
AutoIT. System windows, buttons, fields, clicks, mouse movement, timing,
etc. It's all there. Oh, and it is FREE.
