And hello everyone, here's a question about shortkeys: How do i write shortkeys in the script? For example "win+E" to open explorer , just writing - sp.SendVKey(vk.RWIN+e"); didn't work though.

Second question is: how do i run executionable? Yes, i searched through forum before creating this topic/question. But the questions were about Windows executionables or opening a site in browser. Again, for example i tried - sp.RunProgram("steam.exe", "", "open", "normal", true, false, false);
But it seems it can't find the program (?) Anyway, thanks in advance!

See this link for the writing out SendKeys: Microsoft SendKeys usage

sp.RunProgram is an explicit execute program call, meaning it's trying to open the open from whatever the current directory is (usually, StrokesPlus.net. You have to fully qualify the path and executable, escaping backslashes as well.

For example:
Code:
sp.RunProgram("C:\\Windows\\system32\\notepad.exe", "", "open", "normal", true, false, false);

However, you can also use sp.Run which just does the same thing that Start > Run does, so as long as steam.exe is something in the defined paths, it will run.
Code:
sp.Run("notepad");

Also, the Insert Hotkey button in the script editor toolbar is an easy way to get the script for single key combinations.

SendKeys doesn't support the Win key, so use the appropriate VKey calls, example:
Code:
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LWIN], [vk.VK_E]);

Damn i've already tried script with the path, but it seems like i cracked up somewhere so it didn't work :/
Thank you as always!

Hi Rob,

I've always wondered about the usage of the part that comes after the path, i.e.:
Code:
"", "open", "normal", true, false, false)


I was trying to find an explanation online, but I couldn't find any. What do those values refer to? Sorry to take up your time and thanks for this great software!

Each of those additional parameters are explained in the Script Help window under Operating System > RunProgram.

But the basically match many of the common options available under the .NET Process.Start method.
