How to press “Ctrl+Shift+Q” in AutoIt

Question

I have an application which has a shortcut key Ctrl + Shift + Q to quit it. I want to press Ctrl + Shift + Q via AutoIt to exit my application. I tried it as below:

Send("{LCTRL} {LSHIFT} Q")

and

ControlSend("{LCTRL} {LSHIFT} Q")

But none of them did work. Please guide me to do it the right way.

Answer 1

Please use the below option

Send("^+{F}")

The keylists are available in the AutoIt Help link, take a look at Send Auto Keys List

Answer 2

You want something like:

Send("{CTRLDOWN}{SHIFTDOWN}q{CTRLUP}{SHIFTUP}")

What you are sending presses the keys individually in sequence, rather than chaining them together. Hope that helps!
