Send Key list

Quick reference for the Send( "keys" [, flag] ) Command.    ^ Ctrl    ! Alt    + Shift    # Win

AutoIt can send all ASCII and Extended ASCII characters (0-255), to send UNICODE characters you must use the "ASC" option and the code of the character you wish to Send(see {ASC} below).

To send the ASCII value A (same as pressing ALT+065 on the numeric keypad)

Send("{ASC 065}")

(When using 2 digit ASCII codes you must use a leading 0, otherwise an obsolete 437 code page is used).

To send UNICODE characters enter the character code, for example this sends a Chinese character

Send("{ASC 2709}")

Single keys can also be repeated, e.g.

Send("{DEL 4}") ; Presses the DEL key 4 times
Send("{S 30}") ; Sends 30 'S' characters
Send("+{TAB 4}") ; Presses Shift + Tab 4 times

To hold a key down

Send("{a down}") ; Holds the A key down
Send("{a up}") ; Releases the A key

If you with to use a variable for the count, try

Local $iCount = 4
Send("+{TAB " & $iCount & "}")

If you wish to send the ASCII value A four times, then try

Local $iChr = Chr(65)
Send("{" & $iChr & " 4}")

Most laptop computer keyboards have a special Fn key. This key cannot be simulated.

Note, by setting the flag parameter to 1 the "keys" parameter is sent RAW. This is useful when you want to send some text copied from a variable and you want the text sent exactly as written.

Send is quite useful because windows can be navigated without needing a mouse.

For example, open Folder Options (in the control panel) and try the following:

Send("{TAB}") 	Navigate to next control (button, checkbox, etc)
Send("+{TAB}") 	Navigate to previous control.
Send("^{TAB}") 	Navigate to next WindowTab (on a Tabbed dialog window)
Send("^+{TAB}") 	Navigate to previous WindowTab.
Send("{SPACE}") 	Can be used to toggle a checkbox or click a button.
Send("{+}") 	Usually checks a checkbox (if it's a "real" checkbox.)
Send("{-}") 	Usually unchecks a checkbox.
Send("{NumPadMult}") 	Recursively expands folders in a SysTreeView32.

Use Alt-key combos to access menu items. Also, open Notepad and try the following:

Send("!f") 	Send Alt+f, the access key for Notepad's file menu. Try other letters!
Send("{DOWN}") 	Move down a menu.
Send("{UP}") 	Move up a menu.
Send("{LEFT}") 	Move leftward to new menu or expand a submenu.
Send("{RIGHT}") 	Move rightward to new menu or collapse a submenu.

See Windows' Help--press Win+F1--for a complete list of keyboard shortcuts if you don't know the importance of Alt+F4, PrintScreen, Ctrl+C, and so on.
