sending a period Topic is solved

[plangley]

I am using jira and that web-based application uses the period key (.) as a way of selecting menu options. Does anyone know how to send a period to chrome. I have tried Send., SendRaw., etc with no results. Ideas?

Thanks!

I'm able to send a period to Chrome with a simple Send, . command. Do you mean the "Del" key on the numpad? If so, try Send, {NumpadDel} or Send, {NumpadDot} (when NumLock is on).

You need a space or command between your command and the first parameter.

Send. is nonsensical to AHK; Send . works just fine. I just tested and even Send,. works too.

If you want to send to Chrome as an inactive window, you'd need to look at ControlSend. But you shouldn't need ControlSend if Chrome is your active window.
