Press a single key automatically in RunMacro

What it does

The Key Press command sends exactly one key to the active app — for example Enter, Tab, Esc, arrows, or F1–F12. It presses and releases at once, like tapping a key.

When to use it

  • Press Enter to confirm or add a new line.
  • Press Tab to jump to the next field in a form.
  • Press Esc to close a dialog.
  • Use arrow keys to move in a list/menu.

Configuration steps

  1. Add a Keyboard › Key Press command.
  2. Choose the key from the list (Enter, Tab, Esc, F1–F12, arrows...).
  3. Save. On run, the key is sent to the active window.

Real example
