Emulate key not functioning for standard keys

Post by molitar »

Ok I have setup a script for HoneyView3 so I can control it from the remote. Problem is the + key for zoom does not work.. I have done for setup.

Macro: Zoom In
<Button>
Find Window:
Bring to Front (just to see if that made it work)
Emulate Keystrokes: +

But the + key does not seem to be sent to the application in a way that it reads it so the zoom does not function. Suggestions?

Maybe you need to use {Add} from the Special Key tool

Thanks I didn't even catch that I was looking for + or - but didn't look through the list enough to see the numpad add and numpad subtract. They work great.
