action:Type_a_Keystroke

**This is an old revision of the document!**

The Type Keystroke action lets you type a single keystroke, pretty much any kind of keystroke you can type on the keyboard.

The Type Keystroke action is just like typing yourself, so you can type any keystroke and any number of them, but it can be tedious to create a sequence of keystrokes in a macro.

Use Type Keystroke when:

  • You are entering a single keystroke and perhaps need particular control over the exact keystroke typed, or
  • The keystroke includes Command or Control (and sometimes Option).

You can optionally have the key pressed and held, or pressed and repeated, or released if you previously pressed it.

Note: keys that are pressed stay pressed only as long as the macro continues to run.
