Some keypresses do not get pressed when using applescript to type out keys

[dylan-chong]

Run this from the terminal and then wait a few seconds

mvim -u NONE; sleep 2; osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "aThis text should get typed out in insert mode"'

and you see this as a result

which clearly does not show all of the text that should get typed out

I can reproduce the issue. Just curious and also for triaging, is this something that was blocking you or you are just doing a sweep on different repos to report bugs?

By the way the dictation setup is the OSX part of dictation-toolbox/aenea. I can live with the bug existing, just would be nice if it is fixed. (Don't worry if it looks like a really complex fix)

This wasn't blocking me, it's just noticeable for the dictation setup in using for my RSI, which uses AppleScript to type out text. I have a temporary solution which is to type out a single key, wait 0.02s, type out the next key, etc, so it isn't blocking, it's just takes an extra second to type out a sentence.

Ok good to know. Currently the priority is getting Mojave fully supported (which is long due) but I'll take a look at this afterwards.

Sweet thanks. Good luck with the upgrade
