How to make Microsoft Keyboard special keys run osascript commands on OSX?
- by t-a-w
I'm trying to make (1) special key open new terminal window.
I bound it to file /Users/taw/bin/new_term, which contains:
#!/bin/sh
exec osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to do script "cd ."'
This does the trick, except it also opens a Terminal window with this (even though Terminal.app is configured to always close windows when processes finish):

/Users/taw/bin/new_term ; exit;
~$ /Users/taw/bin/new_term ; exit;
tab 1
logout
[Process completed]
How do I make it all work correctly? (possibly using a way different that what I've been attempting so far)
