Description

Presses a key after delay.
Codes are platform dependent. As a help we allow you to pass the character for the key as text and the plugin looks up virtual key code and scan code. But this lookup can fail. So please try all keys for your keyboard.

Examples

Press enter in 2 seconds on Mac:
