Doubt - Press simulated key on minimized window

Post by wleitzke »

Hello guys,

Sorry for my really noob question, but I tried to search and didn't found any result.

In case I have one default profile and one for a game, for example. In the game one, I had configured a simulated key with sticky repeat to press a button each some minutes.

What I would like it's this automated process still do even when the Default one (windows homepage) it's the main one (active) but the game is minimized.

I tried to put the same configuration on Default but still when the game is minimized, the keys are not pressed.

There is how to do this?

Thanks so much,

This is not possible. Simulated keys works by sending to the keyboard buffer, so the output of that is directed, by Windows, to the active window. I mean, it could continue sending keys, but they would not go to the game, they would go to what ever screen has focus, no different to if you were pressing the keys on your physical keyboard!
