What is a work-around for ControlSend,,{key DOWN}?

[cdenq]

I am trying to hold down a key in several inactive windows, but it seems like ControlSend is not capable of any {key DOWN} parameters. Any work arounds?

It worked when all on one line.

Code: Select all

wTitle = ahk_exe notepad.exe
F3::
ControlSend,, {Shift down}, %wTitle%
ControlSend,, abc, %wTitle%
ControlSend,, {Shift up}, %wTitle%
ControlSend,, {Shift down}def{Shift up}, %wTitle%
Return
