Hold Down Any Key For X Seconds?

Is it possible to hold down any key for x seconds? Thanks.

It is not possible to hold the key down for a specified amount of time, but you could have Macro Express press the key repeatedly for a specified amount of time. I was able to do it with the code below.

Variable Set Integer %N1% from Current Second
If Variable %N1% >= 30
 Variable Modify Integer: %N2% = %N1% - 30
End If
If Variable %N1% < 30
 Variable Modify Integer: %N2% = %N1% + 30
End If
Repeat Until %N2% = %N1%
 Variable Set Integer %N1% from Current Second
 Text Type: %N1% (%N2%)
 Delay 5 Milliseconds
Repeat End

I had to add a 5 millisecond delay to prevent the keyboard buffer from overflowing. Depending on your system, you may or may not need this delay. When holding down a key, Windows actually presses the key repeatedly as well.
