10.4: Open Dashboard at login with AppleScript
Authored by: dayglow on Aug 16, '05 06:37:17PM

Hi, assuming you're using function keys to trigger Dashboard you could use the following:

tell application "System Events"
key code 105
delay 1
key code 105
end tell

This is for F13; replace 105 with one of the following depending on your set-up.

F1 122
F2 120
F3 99
F4 118
F5 96
F6 97
F7 98
F8 100
F9 101
F10 109
F11 103
F12 111
F13 105
F14 107
F15 113

Very nice! this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

I had actually started using DashboardStarter, but it's nice to have options.
