Use keyboard macros to simulate keys being pressed (either in NoteTab or other applications). See also Toolbar Commands for other types of macro commands.
^!Keyboard Keys
Plays the specified key sequence within NoteTab. Use blank characters as delimiters between the keys to play. To specify plain text, wrap it with the # character. Characters can also be represented as hexadecimal values by using a $ symbol in front of the number. For example, $20 represents the spacebar character and $09 the tab key.
Since version 4.6, the keyboard command supports delay settings between key instruction. The value represents milliseconds and should be preceded with the "&" symbol. Example:
^!Keyboard Alt+V O &1000 Ctrl+Tab &400 Ctrl+Tab
Valid control keys are:
CTRL, SHIFT, ALT (Add UP/DOWN suffix to hold button up or down respectively)
Function keys:
F1, F2, ..., F12
Other keys:
BACKSPACE, TAB, ENTER, ESC, SPACEBAR,
PAGEUP, PAGEDOWN, END, HOME, LEFT, UP, RIGHT, DOWN,
INSERT, DELETE, HELP
Examples:
^!Keyboard CTRL+O #Hello World#
and
^!Keyboard SHIFTDOWN RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT SHIFTUP
and
^!Keyboard ALT+T S M
and
^!Keyboard SHIFT+F2
and
^!Keyboard $4E $6F $74 $65 $54 $61 $62
^!KeyboardDelay nnn (added in v4.6)
Controls the speed of typing with the ^!Keyboard command. nnn specifies the approximate delay in milliseconds between each keystroke. Set nnn to 0 for maximum speed. The scope of this command is limited to the current Clip execution.
^!PlayBack Keys
Similar to the TypeBack command but plays back the specified key sequences (same used by ^!Keyboard command). Works with most programs.
