You've always had this ability, but with more convoluted syntax:
osascript -e "tell application \"System Events\" to keystroke \"whatever\""
Specify the application too with multiple -e parameters. This will copy whatever is selected in Safari:
osascript -e "tell application \"Safari\" to activate" -e "tell application \"System Events\" to keystroke \"c\" using {command down}"
- eviks 1y agoHow do you stimulate delays, animation intervals, key down/ups a with System Events?
- bestham 1y agoApple Script is a programming language and you have full control flow at your disposal to wait and branch as needed.
- eviks 1y agoThis is too generic to answer this specific question. Key down, for example, is not an inherent property of a programming language. (and neither is delay precision guarantees, which might be important for some key sequences)
- robterrell 1y agoAppleScript supports the "delay" command. System Events supports both "keydown" and "keyup" in addition to keystroke.
