SendKeys is a function of the WScript host, it does not exist in javascript
alone...
You can use SendKeys to send more than one keystroke at a time. To do this,
create a compound string argument that represents a sequence of keystrokes by
appending each keystroke in the sequence to the one before it. For example,
to send the keystrokes a, b, and c, you would send the string argument "abc".
The SendKeys method uses some characters as modifiers of characters (instead
of using their face-values). This set of special characters consists of
parentheses, brackets, braces, and the:
plus sign "+"
caret "^"
percent sign "%"
and tilde "~"
To send bracket characters, send the string argument "{[}" for the left bracket
and "{]}" for the right one.
To send brace characters, send the string argument "{{}" for the left brace and
"{}}" for the right one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To send keyboard characters that are comprised of a regular keystroke in
combination with a SHIFT, CTRL, or ALT, create a compound string argument that
represents the keystroke combination. You do this by preceding the regular
keystroke with one or more of the following special characters:
SHIFT - +
CTRL - ^
ALT - %
When used this way, these special characters are not enclosed within a set of
braces.
To specify that a combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT should be held down while
several other keys are pressed, create a compound string argument with the
modified keystrokes enclosed in parentheses. For example, to send the keystroke
combination that specifies that the SHIFT key is held down while:
e and c are pressed: "+(ec)".
e is pressed, followed by a lone c (with no SHIFT): "+ec".
Keystroke Repeats
You can use the SendKeys method to send a pattern of keystrokes that consists
of a single keystroke pressed several times in a row. To do this, create a
compound string argument that specifies the keystroke you want to repeat,
followed by the number of times you want it repeated. You do this using a
compound string argument of the form {keystroke number}. For example, to send
the letter "x" ten times, you would send the string argument "{x 10}". Be sure
to include a space between keystroke and number.
The only keystroke pattern you can send is the kind that is comprised of a
single keystroke pressed several times. For example, you can send "x" ten times,
but you cannot do the same for "Ctrl+x".
Note
You cannot send the PRINT SCREEN key {PRTSC} to an application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some keystrokes do not generate characters (such as ENTER and TAB). Some
keystrokes represent actions (such as BACKSPACE and BREAK). To send these kinds
of keystrokes, send the arguments shown in the following table:
Key Argument
BACKSPACE {BACKSPACE}, {BS}, or {BKSP}
BREAK {BREAK}
CAPS LOCK {CAPSLOCK}
DEL or DELETE {DELETE} or {DEL}
DOWN ARROW {DOWN}
END {END}
ENTER {ENTER} or ~
ESC {ESC}
HELP {HELP}
HOME {HOME}
INS or INSERT {INSERT} or {INS}
LEFT ARROW {LEFT}
NUM LOCK {NUMLOCK}
PAGE DOWN {PGDN}
PAGE UP {PGUP}
PRINT SCREEN {PRTSC}
RIGHT ARROW {RIGHT}
SCROLL LOCK {SCROLLLOCK}
TAB {TAB}
UP ARROW {UP}
F1 {F1}
F2 {F2}
F3 {F3}
F4 {F4}
F5 {F5}
F6 {F6}
F7 {F7}
F8 {F8}
F9 {F9}
F10 {F10}
F11 {F11}
F12 {F12}
F13 {F13}
F14 {F14}
F15 {F15}
F16 {F16}
