Support have come up with a solution! This works: To hold down TAB key: <KEYD:VK_TAB> To release TAB key: <KEYU:VK_TAB> That seems like a virtual key code to me, so I'm guessing anything in this list will also work (not tried any of them except VK_TAB): https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd375731

Thanks. I'm trying to avoid having to write a separate software utility just to send a few keystrokes - a bit of overkill for something that should be relatively simple. I've sent off a support request now.

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to send hotkey combinations to the web app Asana ( http://www.asana.com). They are mainly using TAB as a modifier e.g. TAB + S inserts sub-tasks. I've never seen TAB used as a modifier before but it works for seamlessly for their web app. The trouble is that I can't find a way of generating those combinations using Macro Express Pro because there doesn't seem to be a way to hold down TAB with another key.

In TextType, I need to be able to hold down the TAB key so that I can press a letter character simultaneously. Can't seem to find a way to do it. The help file states: But entering <KEYD:TAB> does not work, neither does <KEYD:<TAB>> Any ideas? Thanks.
