The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

is it possible to use iMacro to send keystrokes...

I want a macro that simulates pressing Ctrl+Alt+A. (then I could have a bookmark on my favorites toolbar that executes KeePass auto type). Any way to do this?

Just to clarify: You want to start Keepass with iMacros?

Kind of. I want to type the global hot-key combination that causes KeePass to auto type the username and password into the page that I am on (KeePass has to already be running). the hot-key combination is control-alt-a by default.

Use AutoHotKey (create a simple file.ahk that will do the keystrokes, run it using CMDLINE)

Send ^!a

@Ravendey

For me, hitting ctrl-alt-a is as easy as typing anything on the cmdline. I'm trying to figure out a way to be able to click something that will trigger the event (I prefer my mouse to the keyboard)

Hi,

I would like also to send CTRL+ALT+A at a given point in the iMACROS, but I don't understand why CMDLINE would help. CMDLINE would retrieve a parameter but not execute a command from within an iMACROS.

Regards
Eric
