    <p>Getting the active application is not a problem, I already have this implemented.</p> <p>What I want to know is how to send a "Cmd-C" key combination to the active application so it puts the selected text in the clipboard (general pasteboard).</p> <p>Or even better: how to tell the active application to do a copy operation without sending the keystroke, or without highlighting the "Edit" menu when the copy operation is triggered.</p> <p>I can't use NSAppleScript (10.2) because this specific class must be as backwards-compatible as possible (down to 10.0 ideally).</p> <p>I have looked at NSAppleEvents (which would seem the way to go) but can't seem to find a way to do this. A specific answer would be very welcome!</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>The NSAppleScript solution by Rob works but I'm still interested in doing this without the need for NSAppleScript. I've tried using CGPostKeyboardEvent (using the last boolean value to set the key to its "up" or "down" status) but I can't seem to find the key codes or any character code tables. Could someone precise how CGPostKeyboardEvent would be used to type a "c"? (a CGCharCode and CGKeyCode table would be perfect).</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
