/sendkeys [-pw] <keys|text>
Send keys or plain text to the active window. (In a script, you can use $appactive to ensure the keys are sent to this AdiIRC instead of another App.)
Check here to see the syntax for sending keys.
Switches
| Switch | Description |
| -p | Send plain text instead of keys. |
| -w | Wait for the keys to be processed. (does not work with -p) |
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| <keys<redpre#0>text> | Key combination or plain text to send. |
Example
; Send CTRL + t keys to the active window.
/sendkeys ^t
; Send emoji to the active window.
//sendkeys -p $chr(55357) $+ $chr(56832)
; Toggle caps lock.
/sendkeys {CAPSLOCK}
; open the Ctrl+K colors dialog (note that it's important to use lowercase k)
/sendkeys ^k
; open the Ctrl+Shift+K colors dialog
/sendkeys ^K
or
/sendkeys ^+k
; open the options dialog. Note that upper-case 'O' doesn't work because that makes sendkeys use ctrl+shift+O instead of Ctrl+O
/sendkeys %o
; note that in a script this will try to send the contents of the %o variable, so in a script use $+(%,o) or % $+ o
