Can anyone help me?

Not sure if this is the right place to go, but i need help. I am trying to set up my computer in a way to be able to run a program where the keyboard will type out a series of commands on a loop.

 

I am trying to have it do this:

up arrow, Shift + f10, down arrow, enter, enter, and then a 20 second delay before starting the cycle over again.

 

If anyone has any advice on a program that can do this or has the knowhow to create one, any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

You can use AutoHotKey to make a script that does this.

I would just recommend setting up some key that can 'stop' and 'start' this sequence of keystrokes.

This is very powerful and I ahve used it in the past for some fun lil automation scripts, and it does allow for a lot more powerful things to be done than what AHK offers, highly reccomended

This AHK script does the following:

 

Waits for CTRL+Enter

When CTRL+Enter

> if not already running, sends the strokes sequence once, then repeats it every 20 seconds with a timer

> if already running, stops the timer

 

#NoEnv
#Persistent
#SingleInstance, Force

^Enter::
    if (!isRunning) {
        isRunning := 1
        GoSub, cycle
        SetTimer, cycle, 20000
    } else {
        isRunning := 0
        SetTimer, cycle, off
    }
    Return
    
cycle:
    Send, {Up}+{F10}{Down}{Enter}{Enter}
    Return

 

To change the trigger hotkey, replace line 5 at your convenience:

Let me know if it does the trick
