Spyder Python "SendKeys"

[isocam]

Can anybody help?

Does anybody know if it is possible, using Spyder Python, to use "SendKeys"???

I want to send the keys "Ctrl+Alt+N" to fusion 360

Many thanks in advance!!!!

Hello,

I am unclear what you were going to do by sending keyboard keys. We have KeyBoardEvent  API which you can probably refer to. By hooking Command.KeyDown event, you can do something in Fusion 360 according to which keys are pressed in keyboard.

Hello Darren,

here is a solution using the keyboard module (https://pypi.org/project/keyboard/) :

#Author-Jerome Briot

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback

from .Modules import keyboard


def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface

        # Open/close the data panel
        keyboard.press_and_release('ctrl+alt+p')
        adsk.doEvents()

    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

Hope this helps
