Specify the application too with multiple -e parameters. This will copy whatever is selected in Safari:osascript -e "tell application \"System Events\" to keystroke \"whatever\""osascript -e "tell application \"Safari\" to activate" -e "tell application \"System Events\" to keystroke \"c\" using {command down}"
