Hotkey sequences
iPEPS allows you to enter commands that take the form of hotkey sequences
that emulate standard keypress combinations.
Hotkey sequences
Almost any combination of keypresses can be emulated using the following
notations:
+ means press down the key that follows,
– means release the key that follows,
+– means press and then release the key that follows,
* means add a delay. The standard delay period is 250ms, however, if a
number immediately follows the asterisk, this will define an alternate delay
period (in milliseconds).
A list of permissible keypresses and information about how to abbreviate them
are given in Appendix 8.
Notes
• The entries are not case sensitive.
• It is not necessary to specify all keys to be released at the end because they
are all released automatically after the last code.
Examples
To send the command Ctrl + Alt 4 you should use the following: +Ctrl+Alt+4.
To send the command Ctrl + Alt 12 you should use the following: +Ctrl+ALT+–
1+2 (the ‘+–1’ entry causes the 1 key to be pressed and released before the 2
key is pressed).
To send the command Scroll lock 1 + Enter (with a 500ms delay) you should use
the following: +–Scr*500+1+Ent
