hi, can anyone help with custom shortcut keys (send keyboard inputs) ?
Code:
h:e:l:l:o:' ':h:o:w:' ':a:r:e:' ':y:o:u
What i get is
Code:
hellohowareyou
This should work (as per demo) but it will not put the spaces. I have tried all sorts of variation and other symbols, searched & searched google and even tried on some IRC channels but no joy, cheers
the left column shows the input and the right column shows what to type.
"enter" (i.e. new line) Enter or Return
a (i.e. small a) A
A (i.e. capital a) Shift+A
: (colon) Shift+;
' ' (space) Space
lol, because the forum reads the chr$ as smilies apart i'm chuckling to myself, did you just add a colon to the end , yea tried that too.

Yes, thank you very much, this worked (i was sure i tried that one too , dam ^^) Although the right column shows "Space" with a capital so i might have tried that. great stuff though, thx.
