Re: Keyboard strokes context menu
Hi Razor303,
To work around the "{Apps}" in emulate keystrokes not working as desired try one of the following (images attached).
A)Emulate Keystrokes as multiple actions (do not use the "Wait" action as it will lose focus. If {Apps} is not alone it does not work as desired)
1) Emulate Keystrokes "{Apps}"
2) Emulate Keystrokes "{Down}{Down}" (insert down as needed)
3) Emulate Keystrokes "{Enter}" B)Use 2 Macros (as one macro will move the context menu. you may need to modify this to work for you)
Macro 1
1) Right mouse button (you may need left button here)
2) Wait : 1.0 sec
3) Clear Pending Events
4)Trigger event "second half of macro"
Macro 2 (triggered by #4 above)
1)Emulate Keystrokes "{Down}{Down}{Enter}" (insert down as needed)

Re: Keyboard strokes context menu
That's a good example for keystrokes, but you may find this method more reliable for audio switching: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6088#p30412Javier wrote: AppsExample.jpg
