Hi, Not much happening recently, or better say, since version 2.7.. Is this project still alive?.... Sorry, still not Hold key feature. For instance, I need a macro where one of
the steps is to do "CTRL + Right Click" combination. If you can't add
control key to mouse click window, at least if you would add a "Hold
key" & "Release key" feature. Thanks.It was requested a while ago....

OK, I seems to solved this... Here is how you can achieve the HOLD feature. I needed to similate CTRL + left Click in my task. First I saved current (new task) I am working on as "Main" or whatever you prefer. Then created a 2nd new task and called it "Secondary". This task will have single action, it is keypress (leave emulate option selected) and in the Keys text window I inserted: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^Make sure this line is continuous, there are NO BREAKS. Or else it won't work.I didn't put any delay or pause anywhere in this Secondary Task.Yes, this is long, but "^" is actually CTRL. So what I am going to do is to full Robotask around and release a spree of control keys. That's same as holding it (...actually it is technically the same thing).Next, I re-opened my "Main" task.Before the point where I was about to create the "Right Click" action for my mouse I insert: "Start Task ... Secondary". I start the other task here. The option "Wait till finished" is left UNchecked. Now I finish the Main task by putting:Delay 100 msClick Left ButtonDone, I save task and ready to go.Notice the delay: Need it or else the "^" keypress and the mouse click won't be in sync.Good luck. And hope they add the hold keys soon to Robotask. This is overdue like yesterday already.
