Hi,

I would like to send a hotkey of more than characters to Excel (ALT + C + O + A ). The send hotkey activity allows to send only two characters. Is there a way to do that ?

Thank you

Hi @sankar.kuna

Out of curiosity ,what if we needs to pass ALT+U+P. Where there is a key “up” already available in the drop down list of the send hot key activity. In this case, Which will be processed “ALT+U+P” or “ALT+ UP”.

Regards,
Ranjith.

Hi @Ranjith,

Thats a very good revert…

Here in this it is able to differentiate between “up” and “u+p” we can mention like “up” or up it is considering that as keys and not special key…

Please try and revert back with response. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the answer @sankar.kuna , If it is mentioned within double quotes it refers to special key or it will consider the value as combination of characters.Am i right?

Hi sankar.kuna,

I have tried this approach but it didn’t work.

I tried following combination for ALT EST command in excel:

ALT + EST
ALT + “EST”
ALT + “E+S+T”

Thanks,
Saurabh
