Keyboard Macro...

[SmooveB]

I need an app that will hit a key on the keyboard on a timer. i.e. hit U every second.

The simpler the better, I don't want a huge UI. Free also please. Help is appreciated; thanks.

That's an awesome app episodic. BUT it does more than I need/want it to - and at the same time it doesn't quite do it at all.

PTFB Pro is primarily designed for dismissing irritating messages

I really just want to hit the activation key and have it start pressing the key repeatedly. I'll play around with it a little more, just in case I can tweak it to be simple. =P

what are you doing exactly? You may be able to script a response.

Specifically... I want to hit U in Everquest to open a door over and over and over.

/did i really just say that?

You could use a simple .vbs.

Eg (will send 'U' to whichever app is in focus once a second for 10 seconds):

Cool. How do I use that?
I have Eclipse and some (fading) Java experience.

Paste it into notepad, save as whatever.vbs and double-click on it.

Exactly what I was thinking

You guys rock. Now, I can obviously change the "for i = 0 to 9" part for how many repetitions...
but how can I start and stop it on command?

Bump... also, it isn't working.
