MotiurMuhith Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I've been working on a script and part of it is to open a new tab in Google Chrome and then type in a web address. The Chrome shortcut to open a new tab is CTRL + T. Here is the what I used: Send("^{T}") However, this ended up opening the last closed tab, which would be CTRL + SHIFT + T. This code does not say to press shift... I also tried this, but it didn't do anything: Send("{RCTRL}" + "{T}") And, then I tried this Send("{RCTRL down}") Send("{T}") Send("{RCTRL up}") .. but it also just opened the last closed tab. It's as if AutoIT is holding down the shift key while doing this! I'm pretty sure the shift key isn't stuck. I've rebooted the computer a few times and even tried on 2 other computers.

BrewManNH Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'm not sure if it matters or not, but try with a lower case t instead of sending an upper case T. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

MotiurMuhith Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'm not sure if it matters or not, but try with a lower case t instead of sending an upper case T.WOW.That is the solution!I guess AutoIT uses shift to input capital letters, even for keystrokes.. I always wrote the keys in caps since that's how I learned when I first started scripting, and it looks better. Oh well, thank you for your guess!
