| 16 | *Example* |
||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | <pre> |
||
| 19 | ; Send CTRL + t keys to the active window. |
||
| 20 | /sendkeys ^t |
||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | 5 | Per Amundsen | ; Send emoji to the active window. |
| 23 | //sendkeys -p $chr(55357) $+ $chr(56832) |
||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | ; Toggle caps lock. |
||
| 26 | 1 | Per Amundsen | /sendkeys {CAPSLOCK} |
| 27 | 8 | Paul Janson | |
| 28 | ; open the Ctrl+K colors dialog (note that it's important to use lowercase k) |
||
| 29 | /sendkeys ^k |
||
| 30 | ; open the Ctrl+Shift+K colors dialog |
||
| 31 | /sendkeys ^K |
||
| 32 | or |
||
| 33 | /sendkeys ^+k |
||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | ; open the options dialog. Note that upper-case 'O' doesn't work because that makes sendkeys use ctrl+shift+O instead of Ctrl+O |
||
| 36 | /sendkeys %o |
||
| 37 | ; note that in a script this will try to send the contents of the %o variable, so in a script use $+(%,o) or % $+ o |
