@jperedadnr You set up the test correctly. I think you need to need to allow the 'terminal' application to use the accessibility API so the Java robot can send keyboard events. I can't provide you with the exact setting since I'm away from my Mac until the end of this week. When I get back I'll send details and add a comment to the test file. Apologies, I set up my Mac so long ago I forgot about this hiccup.
