Invert colors using Apple Script Editor?

Try this:

tell application "System Events"

key code 28 using {command down, option down, control down}

end tell

The normal invert colours key combination of command-option-control-8 only works if you use the "8" key on the main part of the keyboard. It will not work with the "8" key on the numeric keypad. Each key, when pressed, sends a unique key code to the operating system. That's how the computer knows which key was pressed. So, if you used keystroke "8" using (command down, option down, control down) you would not get the desired result. This command needs to refer to the specific key pressed rather than to the character that results when you press a key. There are two "8" keys on a keyboard which includes the numeric keypad, but they have different key codes. Key code 28 is for the "8" key on the main part of the keyboard. Some commands will work with either of these two ways of simulating keystrokes, some will only work with one.

I hope this all makes sense.

Hi,

Have you had a chance to try out the AppleScript suggestion I made?

Did it work?

Did it not work?

Have you even looked at it?
