Mac bash脚本 - 每2分钟自动按右箭头

Question

Using Mac 10.11 version. Trying to write a bash script to automate "right arrow" press every two minutes. Could someone help please?

Background: Have a deck. To move to the next page, every time i need to click right arrow. So trying to eliminate "manually pressing of right arrow" every two minutes with the above script.

Already tried as suggested on Looking for a very simple Bash script for automated key press , but no luck.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Without knowing which application you are trying to automate, this should do what you are asking.

#!/bin/bash

osascript -e \
'tell application "System Events"
    repeat
        key code 124
        delay 120
    end repeat
end tell'

If you want to run this from Script Editor, remove osascript -e \\ and the single quotes at the beginning and the end of the script.
