Hi...I am new, so please forgive is these are stupid questions:
I would like to write some scripts and figured out that {Down} is down and Send ^{vk56} is "ctrl v" (I think).
Some questions:
1. Do I need to include Send + {Down}, or is just {Down} correct? I think {Down} by itself is ok because there is a down key on my keyboard.
2. I assume {vk56} is "v", but is there a list of virtual keys somewhere so I know how to write ctrl T or alt M etc?
3. When writing a script, should it be a "Run" "Send" or "Command" script?
Many thanks, Gregg

When preparing the phrase, select the Keyboard icon to select one of the keys. You can also select More... to see all keyboard and mouse keys.

1. When sending normal text, {Down} would move the caret down.
2. See the documentation (Special characters section below): https://fastkeysautomation.com/documentation5/Send.html
3. Use Type: Command to enter the AutoHotkey script
