Press ALT-FA

 

When we press the ALT key we will hold it down, send the other keys with it and then release the ALT key again.  So we actually do this:

 

Press ALT

Send the F and A characters

Release ALT

 

In Macro Scheduler this is almost exactly as written above:

 

Press ALT

Send>fa

Release ALT

 

I prefer to use lower case characters when I am issuing keystrokes. It sometimes avoids issues where an upper case character can be interpreted as having the Shift key down at the same time ? think about it ...

 

Remember the Release ALT.  With the ALT, SHIFT and CTRL keys we should always remember to release them after pressing them.  They are used in conjunction with other keys.  If we forget to Release the ALT key, subsequent key sends will act as if the ALT key was also pressed because it has yet to be released.
