Two-key keycode at the same time?

Is there a way to keycode two keys at the same time? Something like key code 97 using {98 down} to press F6 and F7 at the same time? Thanks.

I think I figured this out myself. Technically, one F key can’t modify another. The program must be using some sort of timing trick to determine if you pressed them at the “same time.” By issuing the command:

key code {97,98}

I was able to get the program to do what I wanted it to do since these key codes are sent so quickly one after the other. Maybe this will help someone else if they ever run into this problem. Thanks. :slight_smile:

Check - that greatly expands the number of possible triggers for QuicKeys and other macro programs…!
