Problems with alt+tab and...

Post by ABIVEN » Fri Jan 20, 2006 6:29 pm

I encounter pbs with alt+tab ; sometimes solved by using release sometimes working well alone ; but how to use Shift+Space ? Not even recordable . Thanks

Space is a regular character, like a, b, c, etc. not a control key, so you use Send> instead of Press.

Shift+Space would be

Press Shift
Send>
Release Shift

Where there is a space after Send>

There is also Lshift and RShift if you need to specify which key.

Thanks . It works (anyway with a warning message for trailing invisible characters)

I don't care for that either, try

ASC>32

instead of

SEND>

works for regular text but I'm not sure if it will work in a key combination.

Send>%SPACE%

Oh, this is nice, because the "remove trailing spaces" function in the editor removed also the spaces in

send>
