Simulate a keystroke

Description

Send one or more keystrokes to the active window.

Usage

keystroke(key, delay = NULL, clearmodifiers = FALSE)
keydown(key, clearmodifiers = FALSE)
keyup(key)
typestring(string, delay = 12, clearmodifiers = FALSE, sep = "\n")

Arguments

`key`	A character vector describing the keys to type. The key is interpreted as a Keysym (e.g., `a`, `ctrl+a`, `BackSpace`). `keystroke` will accept multiple keys, either in a single character value, separated by spaces, or in separate character values.
`delay`	The delay between keystrokes (in milliseconds). Maximum value is 1000. A very small delay (e.g., 0) may not produce all keys.
`clearmodifiers`	Logical whether to clear input modifiers (such as the shift key).
`string`	A character value that is typed out literally. Can have embedded spaces and newlines and tabs.
`sep`	If multiple character values are provided to `typestring`, they are collapsed to a single value using this separator.
