Keyboard Modifiers - CNTRL/ALT/etc.

[bamma]

Can girder recognize keyboard modifiers such as ALT/CNTRL or other keys like pageup and page down?

I am very new and just got some basic things to work, but when I add the keyboard as an action it only has an input for "text to send". But I need to have things like "CNTRL-A" for my application.

Is this possible?

If you look at the help file under Actions Reference|Keyboard Actions|Keyboard action you'll see the various key modifiers and non-printable keys that you can use.

Thanks! Have not tried it yet, but looks to be exactly what I need. Since I don't really care what window it goes to, it should be pretty easy to set up. The keyboard input is actually sent from the iPhone via Wifi.

This approach may work as an ACTION, but it doesn't seem to work as an EVENT.

Is there any way to directly just have a generic keyboard string, say "hello" to act as an event? I have found one way to do it is in a macro where "h", "e", "l"...all need to be input to execute the action, but this is quite tedious obviously.
