key_down and key combinations

Post by pager » 02 Jun 2016, 04:53

Hi,

I am new to luamacros, I am using them for some business applications to increase my productivity in a software support position. I am able to get some basic macros up and running with no problems but am having a hard time finding any key down functionality for doing key combination commands (CTRL + ALT + DEL) for example. Are there any examples of key down functionality available?

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob

Do you mean sending key combination from macro?
Ctrl+Alt+Del is a little bit special, but for others (like Ctrl+A) you should have no problem. I believe the format is documented somewhere :-) - at least in HidMacros help file.

Scan codes vary from one keyboard to the next, and there are separate scan codes for key-up and key-down events
