After reading Netflix control it doesn’t seem like it’s possible.
I wanted to control Deckset a presentation tool that has arrows for left and right slide control. I ended up with the following apple script, but it’s a bit slower than I’d expect. Probably because it has to use the command line apple script for every press.
Play
#!/usr/bin/osascript
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "p" using {option down, command down}
end
Stop
#!/usr/bin/osascript
tell application "System Events"
key code 53
end tell
Right
#!/usr/bin/osascript
tell application "System Events"
key code 124
end
Left
#!/usr/bin/osascript
tell application "System Events"
key code 123
end
