Sending sequential key strokes

[cuitino]

Hello,

Say I wanted to press the shift key 5 times in a row  to activate sticky keys.

Recoding this action in QM results in:

'S{}S{}S{}S{}S{}  ;; Shift Shift Shift Shift Shift

but it does not activate sticky keys.

I even tried putting delays between the key stokes, or using the    key S      command, but neither seems to work

Thanks in advance

OS turns on Sticky Keys only when Shift comes from the physical keyboard.

Thank you Gintaras for the reply. The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to do a similar action to turn on a specific application that has the hotkey {Left Crtl}{Left Ctrl}{Numpad 2}

I suspect it may also require the physical keyboard, but I'll try to give it a shot .
Is there a specific designation in QM for the LEFT Ctrl button? Or is there no distinction between the left and right ctrl?

Thanks in advance as always

Try
key (VK_LCONTROL)

Thank you!
Is there any way to bypass the physical keyboard using QM code?

[Gintaras]

QM uses API SendInput, and there are no other ways.

Thank you. Do you know of any other language which allows sending physical key strokes? Or is that something that's not possible by definition?

[Gintaras]

I don't know. Maybe possible, but for it need to create a driver, and it is beyond my knowledge.

No problem at all. I appreciate your help as always! Have a wonderful weekend
