Re: [MacRuby-devel] Multiple enumerations
Hmm…in general I would steer clear of scripting bridge when equivalent
functionality is available elsewhere. In this case, you can make use of the
Quartz Event Services. There's a Stack Overflow answer here that should be able
to get you started:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1938509/how-to-simulate-a-low-level-keypress-on-os-x
As for the exact problem you're facing, I'm not sure what the answer is.
Looking at the AppleScript dictionary, it seems like "command down" and "option
down" are special properties in the dictionary, but I don't recall at the
moment how to extract dictionary properties from the library. Depending on
where you extracted those numeric values from, there's a chance that they could
be different on your system (i.e. enums might change between OS versions, since
you're supposed to use them as enums and not numeric values).
But the short answer is: your code looks fine, and using enums/numeric
constants like that should work as expected in MacRuby. Have you tried the
equivalent code in Obj-C to see if this is specific to MacRuby?
Cheers,
Josh

Re: [MacRuby-devel] Multiple enumerations
If you do want to go the way of Quartz, I've already created a layer above it
that you may want to use.
The gem:
https://rubygems.org/gems/AXTyper
Example Usage:
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
irb(main):002:0> require 'accessibility/string'
irb(main):003:0> include Accessibility::String
irb(main):004:0> events = keyboard_events_for "Hello, #{ENV['USER']}."
irb(main):005:0> events.each do |event| KeyCoder.post_event event end
In your case, you can try a hotkey combination like this:
irb(main):004:0> events = keyboard_events_for "\\COMMAND+\\OPTION+u"
irb(main):005:0> events.each do |event| KeyCoder.post_event event end
And there are more details in the blog post I wrote about it:

[MacRuby-devel] Failing installers
It's been a while since I installed a nightly build because I get a error in
the installer ("Installation failed", and "An error occurred while running
scripts from the package “macruby_nightly-2012-05-02.pkg”"), and I haven't had
the time to look into it.
I've just given it another go, and, to my eyes, it seems to have installed
everything it should have:
/Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework
/usr/local/bin/macgem
/usr/local/bin/macirb
/usr/local/bin/macrake
/usr/local/bin/macrdoc
/usr/local/bin/macri
/usr/local/bin/macruby
/usr/local/bin/macruby_deploy
/usr/local/bin/macruby_select
/usr/local/bin/macrubyc
/usr/local/bin/macrubyd
Does anyone know if that is everything? Can I just ignore the installer error
if the above is in place?
Cheers

Re: [MacRuby-devel] Failing installers
The script might fail if you do not have Xcode installed or something is
unusual about your Xcode setup.
To answer your other question, everything except Xcode integration should be
installed by the time that the failing script is run.
Also, if it turns out to be something with your setup of Xcode, could you
please log a bug with details? This seems like it should be a blocker for
release.

Re: [MacRuby-devel] Failing installers
Ok, thanks. Xcode is installed, and I don't remember doing anything funny to
it, but it's entirely possible I broke it somehow as much of it is beyond my
understanding - I will see if I can figure it out and log a bug if I do.

Re: [MacRuby-devel] Failing installers
Hmm, that does sound strange.
The script that the installer runs is found here:
https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/blob/master/misc/release/package_script/postinstall
I would guess that it is not able to get the Xcode dir properly and failing to
set it up.
