macOS AppleScript Press Ok

[Levi Alberta]

Trying to come up with an AppleScript that will press Function and Enter together...

The script I have so far is:

tell application "Vuze" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Vuze"
keystroke "u" using {command down}
keystroke "v" using {command down}
key code 65535 using keystroke return
end tell
end tell

I looked up the key code for the function key, and 65535 is what came back. The start of the script is grabbing some data from a text file and copying the contents. It is then pasting the contents into Vuze (which is where the Command V comes from.

The script pastes the data correctly into the window that pops up (when you press Command U). Problem is, when I press Funtion + Return together, it selects "Ok" which is on the window and the problem is solved. When I attempt to get the script to do it it just keeps repeating itself over and over again and not once does it select Ok.

Thoughts?

From the System Events Dictionary :

key code v : cause the target process to behave as if key codes were entered
key code integer : The key code(s) to be sent. May be a list.
[using command down/control down/option down/shift down] : modifiers with which the key codes are to be entered

The result of pressing Funtion + Return together on my AZERTY Belgian Aluminium Apple keyboard reveals decimal 63 in the Full Key Codes application.

I'm reading and re-reading your response. I'm a little confused (I'm by no means an expert at this..).

My initial thoughts is to change the script to this:

tell application "Vuze" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Vuze"
keystroke "u" using {command down}
keystroke "v" using {command down}
key code v
key code integer {65535, 36}
key code 65535 using keystroke return
end tell
end tell

Is this correct? I just tried it and it fails. I'm guessing I really screwed it up.

Is the FUNCTION key we are talking about the one you see with a red square around it in the attached tumbnail of my previous post?

What decimal key code do you see in the Full Key Codes application when you press those 2 keys on your keyboard?

Yes, that is the same function key that is in your previous post. I have attached a screen shot from the "key codes" app that I downloaded.
