Examples are Examples

Examples are examples not doctrine. In the topic on the “Release” command in the Macro Scheduler help file it mentions that to exit a program you might do:

Press ALT
Send>fx
Release ALT

This would hold down ALT while sending the f and x keys before releasing the ALT key again. Commonly this invokes the standardised File/Exit menu option.

But this is not always true. Not all apps have these options. Not all aps have a File menu. And as we’ve seen in my last post, not all apps work the way we would expect them to. The above is just an example. It’s not dictating the way all Windows apps work. Not every application is the same or obeys the “rules”.
