how to keyboard.send_keys((the contents of a string))

[cedardoc]

I tried this:

keyboard.send_keys(finalitem"<enter>")

where finalitem is a string, and got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/autokey/service.py", line
395, in execute
exec script.code in self.scope
File "<string>", line 14
keyboard.send_keys(finalitem"<enter>")
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


Is it currently possible to do this?

thanks,
Dave

ps I also tried it with the string inside square and regular brackets

The above link gives a basic introduction to Python concepts, should give you the answer.

Sorry, I'd thought that "keyboard.send_keys" was an Autokey thing and
not a python thing.
Thanks for the link. When I figure it out I'll post here for others
who might want the same functionality.

To get you out of trouble quickly:

keyboard.send_keys(finalitem + "<enter>")

A script in AutoKey is a Python script - the two are equivalent. So anything you could do in a separate Python script, you can do within an AutoKey script.

thanks, that worked.

Sorry I didn't think of trying that myself - I was under the
impression that using the plus sign meant the two things on either
side of the plus sign are pressed simultaneously, as in "<ctrl>+s",
but I'm just noticing that finalitem is not within the quotes - I bet
that's part of the answer.

anyways, many thanks for your work and patience!!
