Type Key

Simulate keystrokes on TE window.

• Navigation keys, function keys and certain special characters should be enclosed in {}. The key names are not case-sensitive.

Break	{Break}
Caps Lock	{CapsLock}
Del or Delete	{Del} or {Delete}
Down Arrow ↓	{Down}

F1 to F16	{F1} to {F16}

• You can specify one or more modifier keys before a key.

Modifier key	Code
Ctrl	^
Shift	+
Alt	%

• When a letter is used together with a modifier key, it should be lowercase.
• If several keys share the same modifier key, you can enclose the keys in ().
• You can specify repeating keys in the form {Key Number}.
• Examples:

Key codes in Options	Resulting keystrokes
Readme	Readme
{F2}{End}	F2 key then End key
+%b	Shift+Alt+B
^{Left 4}	Ctrl+Left Arrow 4 times
^(cv)	Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V

• "Print Screen" {PrtSc} cannot capture anything. However any specified modifier key will still be simulated.
• Type Key does not work for "Edit" of Key add-on. Use this instead:
  • Type: JScript / JavaScript
  • Options: wsh.SendKeys("key codes");
