Re: Trigger Applescript during Keynote Presentation

[Patrick Robertson]

I just tried this, and it looks like Keynote 'eats' all keyboard shortcuts when it is open.

I did manage to get things to work if you go into Keynote > Preferences > Slideshow and ticked 'Allow Exposé, Dashboard and others to use screen.

I have QS B69 with Mac 10.8 and Keynote 5.2.

I would like to trigger various Applescripts during a presentation. I am able to trigger all the scripts outside of the presentation, as soon as hit the play button in Keynote, it seems to take control and no allow any triggered actions. Note that I can trigger custom Applescripts during a presentation using my Apple remote and a preference called Mira, but I would like to assign hotkeys.

I searched but came up empty handed.

This was exactly what I was looking for, thanks! Not sure how I overlooked it. I'm assigning hotkeys to click on hyperlinks within the presentation to jump drill down to various slides. Now I won't have to fumble around anymore.

If anyone wants an easy way to control mouse clicks with Applescript, have a look at this free tool from Hamsoft:
