cloudberry Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hi Forum, I have a question regarding function keys on Mac. Basically what I want to do in one of my scripts is to enable "Full keyboard access" this setting can be found under preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts. There is a keybind to change this and by default that is set to control+F7(however it is actually fn+control+f7). Is there a way to utilize the function keys so that I can do this keybind? Or is there another way for me to enable this via rubber ducky that you guys and girls can think of? All help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not use the combo 'GUI SPACE' and then use 'STRING [KEYWORD]' to find where you're needing to go? Example of opening a terminal on Mac OSX: DELAY 1000 GUI SPACE STRING terminal DELAY 500 ENTER <...> I don't own a Mac, but by looking a several OSX payloads, it seems like 'GUI SPACE' brings up some sort of search option similar to pressing your Windows key and typing in what you're looking for. Hopefully I'm on the right track and that answers your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudberry Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hmm maybe I explained my case poorly. I have no issue running applications from spotlight and no issue running commands in the terminal. The issue is enabling "Full keyboard access" via the Rubber Ducky. I know how to do it via the GUI and the shortcut is fn+ctrl+f7, however I cant use fn with Ducky script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried using 'COMMAND' to press the command key? Sorry for misunderstanding your initial question. I may still be on the wrong track, but that's the only different key I see listed for OSX keyboards compared to Windows/Unix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudberry Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hi Enzym, By fn( or function)-key I mean the button that on Macs are left to the ctrl-key. So in other words not the same as command. I believe that I cant use the FN-key via the rubber ducky but I would like someone to confirm it.
