Send Keystrokes to a Program
This action provides a way to send keystrokes to another Windows program just as if
the user typed them into that program. This can be used, for example, to pop up
another program whenever a call rings in. Note: Use this action carefully because
when the action is triggered, the keystrokes will be sent to the target program
regardless of the state of that program (i.e. even when the user is in the middle of some
action in that program).
• App Title – must exactly match the text in the title bar of the target program (not
case sensitive).
• Key Strokes – You can send any keys including special keys (see below). One or
more characters represent each keystroke. To specify a single keyboard character,
use the character itself. For example, to represent the letter A, use "A" for key text.
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" for key
text.
• Run Program if Not Running – If the target program is NOT found running, you
can have the action attempt to automatically start the program.
• Program EXE – Enter the path to the program to be run and a command-line
parameter when needed to the target program for startup. Use a forward slash after
the EXE name and before the command line parameter(s).
Example Action:
The example in the diagram sends keystrokes to the Notepad program to Popup
(restore) the program and to move the cursor to the end of the file.
