ipc.keypress question

[cellular55]

Hi,

I need to find a way to simulate a keypress for a specific number of seconds.

Seems that ipc.keypress do not have that kind of option.

Is there a sort of workaround or another method to use in lua?

Thanks and KR

In the lua library document, look at the entry just below ipc.keypress, called ipc.keypressplus. With that you can hold the keypress as long as you wish.

You simply use the function to PRESS the key(s), then use ipc.sleep for whatever time you want, then use the function again to RELEASE the key(s). Sorry, but I thought that didn't need explaining. 😞
