I am sending commands to R via AppleScript (specifically, from SubEthaEdit to instruct it to source the file I'm currently editing). R doesn't respond tothe AppleScript until I move the mouse over R's console window. The following patch to the Mac GUI (against current svn trunk) resolves the problem, by posting a dummy event to wake up the event queue after the command has been stuffed into the input buffer. --- RController.m (revision 2076) +++ RController.m (working copy) @@ -1104,7 +1104,18 @@ The input replaces what the user is currently typing. */ - (void) sendInput: (NSString*) text { + NSPoint null = {0,0}; [self consoleInput:text interactive:YES]; + [NSApp postEvent:[NSEvent otherEventWithType: NSApplicationDefined + location: null + modifierFlags: 0 + timestamp: 0 + windowNumber: 0 + context: NULL + subtype: 0 + data1: 0 + data2: 0 + ] atStart: YES]; /* unsigned textLength = [[RTextView textStorage] length]; [RTextView setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(textLength, 0)]; ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
