| Dec 30, 2016 at 12:53 | comment | added | Tetsujin | The delay might just be how long it takes a key command to find automator, find the command, activate, etc etc. Not really sure as I've never really timed one to see. Re emacs, it's not something I've ever used, so I'd think you may be better asking them, or post as a separate question in SE. | |

| Dec 25, 2016 at 21:40 | comment | added | redacted | the issue was probably that Automator was not ticked in the System preferences > Security & privacy > Accessibility. So I got that one working. However I got 2 more issues. a) there is slight delay (±400ms?) and more importantly b) emacs catches the f[8,9,10] calls so it doesnt work when it is active window. Do you have any tips on that, or should I ask emacs folks? | |

I'd test using some command that couldn't possibly be duplicated elsewhere or confused with anything else; something like cmd/ctrl/opt/shift/z to eliminate either possibility. | |
| Dec 24, 2016 at 14:26 | comment | added | redacted | Thanks for very detailed answer. I managed to write the scripts and they work in the Automator upon pressing the play button. However shortcuts seems to do nothing (There is a checkmark in the shortcuts window. cmdF9 doesnt work either, fn keys are F9 works without fn). Can I provide more info to so you can help me debug this? | |
