[bug]: Arrow key pressing not working properly #98
Description
What went wrong?
I'm unsure if this is a bug or if I'm not using the software correctly. Essentially, I need it to hold down the up arrow key for an extended period of time, and periodically hold down the left arrow key as well.
When I used
sendkeys --application-name "App" --characters "<c:left>"
it seemingly did nothing and the key wasn't pressed. So, I tried
sendkeys --application-name "Roblox" --characters "kd:left"
sendkeys --application-name "Roblox" --characters "ku:left"
However, it's now holding down the button for way too long and I can't seem to find a way to reduce the time between the down and up? I tried adding --delay "0.1" to the end with various amounts but that doesn't seem to do anything. How do I control how long a key is pressed for and why is it not pushing the keys in the first line of code?
Expected result:
The up key is permanently held down or continously pressed and the left key is periodically pressed for the correct amount of time.
Actual result:
With my first line of code it did nothing at all, and with the second try I can't get it to hold down the key for the right amount of time.
Other information:
- Sendkeys version: current
- Operating system: MacOS Sequoia 15.4.1
- Processor (e.g. Intel, M1): M2
