Virtual Keys
Below is a list developed by Microsoft of available virtual keys. Macro Express 5 supports these virtual keys via the <KEYD: and <KEYU: syntax in the Text Type command.
If your system supports these keys, they may be played back through the Text Type command. For example, to hold down the Delete key and later release it, use the following syntax: <KEYD:VK_DELETE> and <KEYU:VK_DELETE>.
