Holding a key down action?

Is there an action that will hold the key down? I need it so that it will hold it down, not just rapidly press it

Yes, change the option to Press and Hold.

After you are finished, you issue another action to release.

This is perfect, thank you for showing me this

Note that when the macro finishes, keys are automatically released, so your macro does need to keep running to keep the key pressed down.

Also note that simulated events like these and physical events like actual key strokes do not mix well together generally.

Action Warning

Nice job putting a warning for this. So I guess you would need to put a pause action for however long you wanted it held down for. Nice that you don't have to put a release in there unless it was in the middle of the macro. So many cool things you do Peter.
