I'm trying to send keys like "^f14" etc. to some apps. In old S+ i just used for example: "acSendControlDown() acSendKeys("{F16}") acSendControlUp()" and it worked. In the new S+ I tried doing it though steps, but it misfired randomly, so I tried doing it via script but I can't seem to make it work. Doing the variation of sending "control up, control down" makes the modifier get stuck on down state, so that didn't work. I tried doing via VK keys, but I'm not sure how exactly. I tried these and neither of them worked, giving errors:

sp.SendKeys('^{F14}');
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_F14]);

This would be the correct line for Ctrl+F14:
Code:
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.F14]);

You could also try the control separately:
Code:
sp.SendControlDown();
sp.Sleep(50);
sp.SendVKey(vk.F14);
sp.Sleep(50);
sp.SendControlUp();


I don't have any apps that accept Ctrl+F14 that I know of, so I cannot test it - but neither of the above throw errors.
