Press and release commands are what you're looking for.

Thank you for that suggestion. Initially I was thinking there wasn't a way at all because two lines can't be executed simultaneously, and was excited that you planted this seed in my head. But it's not something I can get to work in Notepad using regular character keys. I'd never considered using Press for anything other than non-character keys (the help file described it as intended for non-character keys, but that of course doesn't mean it won't work for others too). Alas, it seems that Press does not accept regular character keys. Definitely worth a try though. Other than this suggestion I can't think of any other ideas to press A and W simultaneously.

This is my (failed) attempt.

Code: Select all

run>notepad.exe
WaitWindowOpen>Untitl*
setfocus>Untitl*
WaitWindowFocused>Untitl*
wait>0.1

press A
press W
wait>2
release A
release W

Any text accepting fields will only register one pressed key at the time. You should try your code using some keyboard monitoring software.
