Force Quite Macro
Desired Workflow
I want to create a macro to bring up the Force Quit menu
Question
Using Press Keys, I selecr OPT/CMND/ESC but they are not entered in that order in the ACTION window and, thus, the Macro doesn't work.

Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2021-04-09 10:09:29.349ZThis is, like your other question, also possible to achieve in a more stable way using an Execute System Command, since it doesn't need to involve using UI automation.
In this case, if Finder is the app you want to Force Quit, you can paste this into an Execute System COmmand's command line property:
pkill -9 FinderLike this:

Thanks Christian, however I only wanted to OPEN the FORCE QUITE window. How do I do that? Recording the sequence in PRESS KEYS does not work even though it is a sequence of buttons that is to HOLD down OPT+CMND and then press ESCAPE.
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2021-04-09 14:45:36.334ZAaah. This might be a special case, since macOS may capture that keystroke before SF gets a chance to process it.
This script should do it :)
sf.ui.finder.menuClick({ menuPath: ['Apple', 'Force Quit…'] });

That did't work. Here's what the action looks like...

This one was intended to be a direct script :) Not a Execute System Command in this case (but that was what I meant in the other 2 threads)

Thanks again! That is working now, as well.
