    Hello everyone,

    Is there a way to make the bot press the Alt key? I couldn't find it in the "Press or release key" command.

    Regards,

    Hi Stefan,

    I had the same problem and the only solution I've found is to use the Send Key command.
    Look at the examples: the % symbol represents the Alt key and what is between braces the key you want to combine it with.

    Alt + A

    sendKeys --keys "%{A}"


    Alt + F4

    sendKeys --keys "%{F4}"


    Regards,

    The key name is LMenu in the Press or release key command. Refer to Keys Enum (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Docs for details.

    Thanks everyone!

    The Gabriel's one worked for me. I've tried with the % but it didn't recognize it as the Alt key.
