[quote='804786021, milke, /thread/804786, /profile/milke'] So, I came to suspect that I could achieve such bahaviour by using Apple [events] directly [/quote] This is a false expectation IMO. In my experience, the Apple event support within an app is focused on AppleScript. So, the folks working on the app add Apple event support until such time as scripting works well, and then stop. Given that, it’s unlikely that you’ll find ‘easter eggs’ that you can take advantage of by sending Apple events directly. A corollary of this is that it’s best to first get things working from AppleScript and then decide whether you want to run the script directly (using NSAppleScript) or reverse engineer what Apple events it sent [1] and then build and send those Apple events yourself (using NSAppleEventDescriptor). So, in your situation I’d first try to get this working from Script Editor. If you can’t, that’s a sign that you should give up on this approach and explore alte
