AID Key Constants

AID keys are Attention Identifier keys, a key that causes an attention identifier (AID) to be sent to the host system when pressed, such as a function key or the Clear, Enter, Page Up, Page Down, Help, and Print keys.

The following constants can be used anywhere in macros or scripts in place of the actual values.

If you are retrieving the value of a property or parameter, scripts or macros will return the integer value, whereas Inspector will display the constant equivalent.

KEEP IN MIND:

When using constants in the script editor, each constant must be prefaced by nl.
