Using Applescript to Execute a Complicated Keystroke

Question

I\'m trying to write an Applescript in Automator that will press the left arrow button while holding down control, option, and command. The code I have so far is:

Answer 1

When using arrow keys you need to target them via key code.

tell application "Sublime Text 2" to activate

tell application "System Events" 
    key code 123 using {control down, option down, command down}
end tell

ARROW KEY CODES

• LEFT: (key code 123)
• RIGHT: key code 124)
• UP: (key code 126)
• DOWN: (key code 125)
