Use a voice command in a variable keypress

[errspace]

Sorry for the bad description, it's difficult to explain.

I have a dynamic command which includes numbers - some of those numbers translate directly to numeric keys. In other words, saying "one" should fire CTRL+1, saying "two" should fire CTRL+2, etc.

I'm trying to avoid using individual if-else conditions for each number because the command already generates 400 sub-commands, and I feel like variable keypresses should work for this with much more brevity. I'm not doing it right though. I tried setting a variable from the number then feeding that to the VK, e.g.

Code: [Select]

[CTRL][keyOne]
...but that didn't work, and nor did

Code: [Select]

[CTRL]{CMDSEGMENT:2}
Is there some way to do this please?

Variable Keypress takes a text variable, like this:

Code: [Select]

Set Text [~keyPress] to '[CTRL]{CMDSEGMENT:2}'
Press variable key(s) [~keyPress] and hold for 0,06 seconds and release

If you enter "[CTRL]{CMDSEGMENT:2}" into the "Variable Keypress (Advanced)" textbox, it'll look for a variable with that literal name.


You can skip the intermediate variable by using Quick Input instead, though the key indicators for that are slightly different, so it'd be

Code: [Select]

Quick Input, '[CTRLDOWN]{CMDSEGMENT:2}[CTRLUP]'

Perfect, thank you.

High what does this "Code:[Select] mean regarding Variable Keypress. Is this actually written into the Variable Keypress field ? Or is this the function of the Keypress field already ?

Trying to learn how the keypress field works and what commands I should be looking to put there ?
Is there any documentation on the Keypress field ?

Please advise
Thanks

Press F1 while VoiceAttack has focus to open VoiceAttackHelp.pdf.

Basic documentation for the variable keypress field can be found on pages 30 and 31.

If you mean the literal string "Code:[Select]", that's part of the forum's code tags and has nothing to do with VoiceAttack itself.

What's in those tags are the contents of the action list in the "Edit a Command" window, from which can be derived which actions to use within a command to achieve a given result.
