Emulate holding down a key

Is there a way to emulate pressing and holding a key (for a certain length of time, etc)?

Send keystrokes action can simulate keystrokes only and can't hold the key. After execution of action it makes all keys into released state.

In any case, I think that it's a good idea. probably we'll implement this in near future.

You can do this by another program: http://softboy.net/key (Key Transformation by SoftBoy).

With RoboTask 10.1, we have:

+ New variables
ShiftKeyState,
CtrlKeyState,
AltKeyState,
WinKeyState.

Does it mean we can emulate holding down those keys?

No, these variables return the state of the key.
true - pressed
false - released

If you want emulate holding down these keys look at the action Shift Keys State
