Help in AutoKeys - Sending a Shifted Case Letter

[nonpetable]

hellos im jason and i am trying to send <shift> + o
but i want the o to be a capital O. this o is in the o in OH. then when i press w the script will stop.
this script will not send the shifted O only the lowercase o.
im using the program Autokey

keyboard.send_key("<SHIFT>")
time.sleep(.33)
keyboard.press_key("o")
time.sleep(.33)
#keyboard.press_key("<shift>")
time.sleep(2.33)
keyboard.release_key("w")

Hello Jason. Are you in the right forum? This is for Access and VBA, but your code doesn't look like VBA.

If you want to do similar stuff in VBA then you'd use :

SenKeys()

if you seach string "autokey" on bytes.com all the other posts related to Autokey are in home > topics > microsoft access / vba > questions > keyboard shortcuts to execute code? but if im wrong please help me get in teh righ t location thanks again

could you reread this post and see if it makes more sense now

I don't recognize the language you are using, but you could try using and uppercase "O" instead of a lower case "o":

keyboard.press_key("O")
'instead of
keyboard.press_key("o")

i ment to say i need a persitant shift and the o key to like <shift>o

From https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...v=vs.110).aspx

To specify that any combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT should be held down while several other keys are pressed, enclose the code for those keys in parentheses. For example, to specify to hold down SHIFT while E and C are pressed, use "+(EC)". To specify to hold down SHIFT while E is pressed, followed by C without SHIFT, use "+EC".

this is in wrong place is python sorrys but answer is
keyboard.press_ key ("<shift>+o" )
the + modifier makes them both presses

[nonpetable]

the best way is not to ask python questions in VBA
but what works is
keyboard.send_k ey("<shift>+o" )
the + modifier sends them both without teh + it would send shift then o
or keyboard.press_ key("<shift>+o" )

Let me move this to the Python forum for you. I don't know how busy it is over there or who's hanging in there ATM but it's a better place for the question than here.

Good luck :-)
