AppleScript Tutorial : Conditionals 

Hey galaxy_glitch, thanks for the question. Yes, you can do what you’re asking about. When you display a dialog with custom buttons, you can set your variable to “button returned of” to see what button the user selected. Example: set btn to button returned of (display dialog “Please select a button”) In that example, btn will be either “OK” or the value of any buttons you add to your dialog.

Yes, you would just do something like this… if thevar = “word” then - do something cool else if thevar = “something else” then - do something different end if

Hey Vegard, thanks for the message I greatly appreciate it. I've added AppleScript code below that does what you've requested. I've intentionally added a lot of "extras" in it since you're trying to learn AppleScript. I thought it was a good way for you to see a few different things happening in a code example. Let me know how you get on with it! ########## START APPLESCRIPT CODE ########## on run set theOption to button returned of (display dialog "Turn the function keys..." buttons {"Off", "On"} default button "On") # ASK WHICH OPTION THE USER WANTS tell application "System Preferences" activate # OPEN SYSTEM PREFERENCES set the current pane to pane "Keyboard" # OPEN THE KEYBOARD PREF PANE tell application "System Events" tell process "System Preferences" tell tab group 1 of window "Keyboard" set statusValidated to false repeat with i from 1 to 100 # REPEAT TO ENSURE WE ALLOW FOR SLOW LOADING PREFERENCE PANES ON SOME COMPUTERS try set theCheckbox to checkbox "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys on external keyboards" set theProperties to properties of theCheckbox set theValue to value of theProperties # GET THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE CHECKBOX if theValue = 1 and theOption = "Off" then click theCheckbox # TOGGLE THE STATUS OF THE CHECK BOX, IT'S NOT SET THE WAY WE WANT set statusValidated to true # WE KNOW THE STATUS IS SET THE WAY WE WANT exit repeat # WE'VE DONE WHAT WE WANTED, EXIT THE REPEAT LOOP else if theValue = 0 and theOption = "On" then click theCheckbox # TOGGLE THE STATUS OF THE CHECK BOX, IT'S NOT SET THE WAY WE WANT set statusValidated to true # WE KNOW THE STATUS IS SET THE WAY WE WANT exit repeat # WE'VE DONE WHAT WE WANTED, EXIT THE REPEAT LOOP else set statusValidated to true # WE KNOW THE STATUS IS SET THE WAY WE WANT exit repeat # WE'VE DONE WHAT WE WANTED, EXIT THE REPEAT LOOP end if end try end repeat end tell end tell end tell quit end tell if not statusValidated then # WE COULDN'T VALIDATE THE STATUS OF THE CHECKBOX, LET THE USER KNOW activate display dialog "Unable to set the function key status" giving up after 6 end if end run ########## END APPLESCRIPT CODE ##########

@@ClickingKeys wow thanks a lot!! 😊😊

@@ClickingKeys I testet it now! since i'm using Norwegian for main language, i needed to change some of the english words in the script, keyboard to "tastatur" (the norwegian word) etc. But den it worked perfect.

@@vegard3055 So happy you were able to make it work! As a note, I have played with Siri running scripts. If you give the app a name that Siri can easily recognize, you could run it by telling Siri to “open application scriptname” or sometimes even just “open scriptname”
