Try this and see if it works for you:

 

Repeat Start (Specify how many times you want to loop)

Activate Window: Launch your application or Program

Delay 120 Seconds

Text Type <F1>

Repeat End

 

You can also create a infinate loop if you wish using and If Logic Statement.

Here's another suggestion. Create a scheduled macro. Set the schedule so it runs every 120 seconds. In the properties for the macro set the nickname to something (perhaps 'Every 120'). In the macro put a Text Type F1 command. When you have finished writing the macro, click OK to return to the Macro Explorer window. Within Macro Explorer, highlight the macro and disable it.

 

Then create two other macros. In the first macro enter the command 'Macro Enable: "Every 120"'. In the second macro enter the command 'Macro Disable: "Every 120"'.

 

Use one macro to start the scheduled macro and use the other one to stop it.
