just a general question, after reading the archives for a bit it seems the only way to generate keystrokes (i.e. cmd-c, cmd-y etc) as completely in max as possible, is to use the [shell] object plus applescript and osascript. is this still the case? ideally i'd like to use a midi controller to do things like cut and paste, etc. (no i don't want to use an external applications for this).
