Function: Sends one or more keystrokes to the active window as if they had been entered at the keyboard.
Each key is represented by one or more characters. To specify a single keyboard character, use the character itself. For
example, to represent the letter A, use "A". If you want to represent more than one character, append each additional
character to the one preceding it. To represent the letters A, B, and C, use "ABC".
The plus sign (+), caret (^), percent sign (%), tilde (~), and parentheses ( ) have special meanings to a Quickhtml macro.
To specify one of these characters, enclose it inside braces. For example, to specify the plus sign, use {+}. Brackets ([ ]) have no special meaning, but you must enclose them in braces as well, because in other applications for Microsoft Windows,
brackets do have special meaning that may be significant when dynamic data exchange (DDE) occurs. To send brace
characters, use {{} and {}}.
To specify characters that aren't displayed when you press a key (such as Enter or Tab) and keys that represent actions rather
than characters, use the codes shown below:
- Backspace = {BACKSPACE} or {BS} or {BKSP}
- Caps Lock = {CAPSLOCK}
- Clear = {CLEAR}
- Del = {DELETE} or {DEL}
- Down Arrow = {DOWN}
- End = {END}
- Enter = {ENTER}
- Esc = {ESCAPE} or {ESC}
- Home = {HOME}
- Ins = {INSERT}
- Left Arrow = {LEFT}
- Num Lock = {NUMLOCK}
- Page Down = {PGDN}
- Page Up = {PGUP}
- Right Arrow = {RIGHT}
- Scroll Lock = {SCROLLLOCK}
- Tab = {TAB}
- Up Arrow = {UP}
- F1 = {F1}
- F2 = {F2}
- F3 = {F3}
- F4 = {F4}
- F5 = {F5}
- F6 = {F6}
- F7 = {F7}
- F8 = {F8}
- F9 = {F9}
- F10 = {F10}
- F11 = {F11}
- F12 = {F12}
- F13 = {F13}
- F14 = {F14}
- F15 = {F15}
- F16 = {F16}
To specify keys combined with any combination of Shift, Ctrl, and Alt keys, precede the regular key code with one or more of the
following codes:
- Shift = +
- Control = ^
- Alt = %
To specify that Shift, Ctrl, and/or Alt should be held down while several other keys are pressed, enclose the keys' code in
parentheses. For example, to have the Shift key held down while E and C are pressed, use "+(EC)". To have Shift held down
while E is pressed, followed by C being pressed without Shift, use "+EC".
To specify repeating keys, use the form {key number}; you must put a space between key and number. For example,
{LEFT 42} means press the Left Arrow key 42 times; {h 10} means press h 10 times.
Macro Example:
- Macro String: %(ID)100615.1222@compuserve.com{TAB}Send mail to me.{ENTER}

%(ID) = Hold down the Alt key while the I and D keys are pressed. This opens the E-Mail Address dialog
Then "100615.1222@compuserve.com" is type in the E-Mail Address box
{TAB} = Tab to the next control (In this case its the E-Mail Text box).
Then "Send mail to me" is typed in the E-Mail Text box.
