invent new combinations like “A(B(C))” which will only trigger if you press

C while holding down A and B. Last, but not least, you can also create key

sequences which must be fully typed to trigger the action. For example,

you the sequence “A B Ctrl(D A)” will only trigger if you press A (down and

up), then B, then Ctrl Down, followed by D and A, and then Ctrl Up.

When entering key strokes, use the BACKSPACE key to remove the last

entered key, and the TAB key to remove focus from the keystroke field. To

enter a TAB or BACKSPACE key as trigger text, use the respective buttons

below the keystroke field. Use the Clear button to entirely remove all

entered keys and start over. The Special Key dropdown list allows you to

enter a special key which might not be present on your keyboard.

9.2.2 Outgoing Keystroke

For emulating keystroke

presses (and releases), and

to emulate typing entire

sequences of keys, use the

Outgoing Keystroke action.

Incoming actions can be

translated to any

combination of keystrokes,

for use in complex macro

routines to control 3rd party

program functions. The best place to start with programming keyboard

combination macros is to consult your software's instruction manual and

determine what keyboard shortcuts are available to you.

Keyboard Emulation outgoing actions can either be typed text, physical key

press/key combination events, or individual Key Up / Key Down events.

When entering key strokes, use the BACKSPACE key to remove the last

entered key, and the TAB key to remove focus from the keystroke field. To

enter a TAB or BACKSPACE key into the keystroke field, use the respective

buttons below the keystroke field. Use the Clear button to entirely remove

all entered keys and start over. The Special Key dropdown list allows you

to enter a special key like Mute, Browser Back, etc. which might not be

present on your keyboard.
