I downloaded function "Load Monitor Profile and Launch Application" and it works great. But I'd like to execute another app's hotkey after loading a monitor profile and before launching an application. The hotkey is to switch to the virtual desktop I want the app to launch on.

How do I execute a hotkey command (e.g., CTRL + G) inside a scripted function?

This should do the trick:

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Input.SendKeys("^({VK_71})");

Thanks Keith. Can you provide a link to the list of sendkeys codes (i.e., what the code is for the various letters and other keyboard keys)?

You can actually just use the code editor to build the scan codes. When you do "BFS.Input.SendKeys(" it will prompt you to enter the keystrokes and automatically convert them to the right scan codes for SendKeys

is there updated instructions for this?
I don't get useful prompt or suggestions for control, WIN or right arrow. Looking to find a way to send ctrl+win+right
