Applescript: "execute menu command" syntax

[mac.jedi]

Greetings,

Anyone know the syntax for using:

execute menu command v : executes a menu command using the menu shortcut string

execute menu command

menu command string text : menu command shortcut

I can't figure out what string to use for the "menu command string" argument.

Thanks!

Hi,

I’m not an applescript guy, but the following link may help you with the concept: http://kasyan.ho.com.ua/open_menu_item.html . You may think I’ve lost my mind in that 1) it isn’t applescript and 2) it’s for InDesign, but my thoughts are that it may serve as basis for you to google what you need.

TT

you may have to go through actions to use menu commands.

hope this helps.
