Simulate SHIFT keypess
« on: August 11, 2020, 07:24:03 am »
Hi All,

Does anyone know of a way to simulate pressing the SHIFT key?

I am disabled and can only use one hand, I want to make a shift lock type program.

I use Windows, but the 'sticky keys' app is too restrictive for me.

Any ideas, suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you really want to do, need more information. But maybe MouseAndKeyInput unit is what you're looking for:

Yeah, but as he said:

which doesn't surprise me at all; MS thought neither much nor well when they implemented that. >:D
