Insert Keystrokes - How to use
Examples
Use this command to insert any keystrokes in any window.
- Select the window title from the 'Select Window' drop
down.
Tip: It shows windows currently used by the task at the
top. After the dotted line it shows current open windows on the
desktop. If you are selecting a window from the desktop, make sure your window
is open. If you don't find your window in the list, click 'Refresh'.
- You can also specify a wild card character (*) at the end or beginning of the window
title if your window title keeps on changing all the time. For e.g. you can
write 'Microsoft Excel*' or '*Excel' or '*Excel*' etc. instead of providing the complete
title if your title always keeps on changing. However, if you know the exact
title of the window then we recommend to provide the complete title to ensure
that the actions are always performed in the correct window.
- Enter any text you want to type in the text
area.
To use special keystrokes like 'Ctrl', 'Shift' or 'Tab', click on the
respective button in special keystroke section. For e.g. if you want to
type Ctrl + C in any window, you need to enter [CTRL DOWN]c[CTRL UP] by
clicking on 'Ctrl Down' button then typing 'c' and then clicking on 'Ctrl Up'
button. Similarly if you want to type Ctrl + Shift + a, click on 'Ctrl Down', 'Shift
Down', type a and then click on 'Shift Up', 'Ctrl Up'.
- You can insert many system or user defined variables into keystrokes. For example if you want to insert today's date simply insert 'Date' variable.
