Send multiple keys with one Send Keys option

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to send multiple keys with one send keys option. It is not supposed to display the text in my screen but be used as shortcut keys

[Henrik_M]

Yes. Look at the documentation page: Mouse and keyboard - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

Hi @Anonymous ,

Yes, it's possible to send multiple keys using send keys action

Examples (with key combinations):

Copy --> {Control}({C}) 

Excel select all rows --> {Control}({Shift}{Down})

Examples (without key combinations):
Example2 --> Trace456{Tab}{Enter}

Hope this will help 🙂

I have been trying to used send keys for copy, {LControlKey}({C}) to copy some contents on the webpage. Send keys for paste is working but this copy action, can't be done. Do I need to change any settings from this send keys settings?

I want to trigger the keyboard shortcut i.e Ctrl+Alt+Shift+1 through "Send Keys". I already tried {Control}({Alt}{Shift}{1}). But it's not working. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

So{Control}(c) means hold control and press c, then release both.

{Control}c would press/release control and then press/release c.  

I believe you are missing your parenthesis from the subsequent modifier keys. 

try this:

{Control}({Alt}({Shift}({1}())))

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your quick response.

I am sorry but still, it is not working. I am using that shortcut key to execute my google script in Google Sheets. I have also used the "Press/Release key" Action. But I am unable to execute the shortcut keys.

Thanks,
