Emulate Keystrokes doesn't work when using Find Window

Post by therealbiglou »

I'm trying to simply use {Ctrl+V} with Emulate Keystrokes to paste text into a particular program. I'm using Find Window to find the needed window and then Bring To Front to give it focus and to accept the paste command. However, in combination, Emulate Keystrokes is not working with Find Window. If I disable Find Window, however, Emulate Keystrokes does work. Is there a setting I need to be aware of when using these two plugins together?

Well, I came up with a dirty solution, and I'd still rather the Emulate Keystrokes and Find Window actions play nicely together, but at least I've got it working. For those who may have the same issue in the future, I placed the Emulate Keystrokes into a separate macro triggered by an action that the original macro created using "Trigger Event". This seems to be working just fine. It's important, though, to have the Trigger Event AFTER the Bring to Front. That way, the paste command is pasted into the correct window.
