Sending keystroke to current windows

Post by pauk »

Hi there,

Loving the work on the 2.1 update. I have one question, is it possible to send keystrokes to the current open window? For example to pause a currently playing youtube video by pressing spacebar, or controlling KODI

Thanks for the feedback. I don't think you'll be able to do that, but I just jotted it down on a sticky note to look at for a future release.

This is now supported with version 2.1.1 of Push2Run. Just set the Push2Run card's open field to "Active Window" (without the quotes).

Here is an example:
