use R-WIN key when not on keyboard
« on: July 04, 2019, 02:35:26 AM »
Hi all,

I have keyboard without R-Win key.
Is there a way how to involve R-Win key into command?

Sorry for maybe stupid or trivial question, but didn find the answer within the forum.

Thanks in advance

The easiest way would be to use the "Quick Input" action, like this:
Code: [Select]
Quick Input, '[RWINDOWN][RWINUP]'

Though, as that's a bit cumbersome, I've attached a profile with a right Windows key keypress action, which you can import and then copy-paste to other commands/profiles.

yes, RWIN (and may be others) in „key chooser“ would help, despite is considered a modifier;  one can manage it

The addition of r-Win would be amazing! (and all other keys I guess, including F13-F24 maybe?)

F13 to F24 are already in the Key Chooser list.
