How can I use Alfred2 to send a key sequence?

[mortalus]

I have a KVM that uses Java and I need to send a key sequence to it. 

 

Sequence:

 

FN+Control+Option+F12

 

Is there is a simple way to do this?

AppleScript should be able to do this. Set up a "Run NSAppleScript" action in a workflow and use the following code:

on alfred_script(q)
  tell application "System Events" to key code 111 using {control down, option down}
end alfred_script

If you want it to switch to a particular application first, you can do something like this: 

on alfred_script(q)
  tell application "Safari" to activate

  tell application "System Events" to key code 111 using {control down, option down}
end alfred_script

Just replace Safari with the name of the app you want to activate.

This look about what I want but how do I also include the function key in this example?

I'm not 100% sure on this but I don't think function is available as a mod key where you can write it as 'using {function down}' like you can with some of the others. I think you have to use key code for the function key.

Fair enough but how would I structure the script so it has the effect of hitting and holding down FN+Control+Option and then pressing F12?
