The keypress Alt+E combination in a window does nothing.
It is supposed to open the Extra menu-item. The E is underlined, and when I type it myself it works OK.
The window is activated before. I tried "Send as simple text" and "Emulate keypress". I also tried alikes: Alt+F (file-menu) etc. NO effect.
Am I missing something?

Alt + E not working
Hi,
I've the same problem. I usually use this method to open menus in softwares.
I've no idea about the solution but I noticed that lots of softwares don't execute the "ALT+F" as expected. I have to press the ALT key, wait for a 1/2 sec and then press the F key.
Good luck.

Have you allready tried in RoboTask to apply this? What was the result?
I mean: Give an ALT; wait a second; Give a letter?
Saves me the effort
BTW: Is it possible to give just an ALT?? Or only ALT in combination with an other? I tried many of those type of programs before, and they all seem to have some handicap ...

You may avoid to use the combinations like Alt-E, Alt-S, etc
You can press single Alt ("%()" combination in RoboTask). This must activate main menu of current window. Next use the arrow keys in order to select necessary item of menu. When item is selected - press Enter.
Also you may insert any delays between pressing of keys.pressing of keys.

Also you can use the hot letters, when menu is active.
For example to do Save As (in internet explorer) you have to press Alt, F, A
Or in RoboTask just write
%(){DELAY 100}F{DELAY 100}A

First: I had not found the possibility to send a single ALT key.
It's not in the list presented for keypresses!? But ok, I make it now by deleting the E from the ALT+E combination "%(E)"
Worse: The exact same combination, emulate keypress: "{DELAY 5000}Hello World!{DELAY 1000}%()" works in EditPad, in CardFile, but not in MS Word (XP, 2002, V10). Long delay 5000 to give Word time to 'settle down'.
Triggering event is Window creation. Match title exact or not exact makes no difference. Also nothing comes in the log! Can you guys look into this?
When triggering event is Window activation, then it works and is logged.
