Quick Question

how do i script for a key to be held down i know

send( "{SHIFTDOWN}")

works for shift key but i need something for the letter D to be held for x secs

This has been discussed before, and simply holding down a key for a certain amount of time (unless it is a modifier key) doesn't work.

A workaround would be to send the key repeatedly for a certain amount of time.

$Timer = TimerInit()
Do
     Send ("d")
     Sleep (10); really won't do much on the sending, just to save CPU
Until TimerDiff ($Timer) > 10000; 10 seconds

thx that helps, what exactly does the TimerInit() do?

Look in the helpfile.

From the helpfile: TimerInit() "Returns a timestamp (in milliseconds)."

TimerDiff() "Returns a time difference (in milliseconds) from a previous call to TimerInit()."
