twapi send_keys LWIN not working

[The Rickster]

The manual depression of the Windows key + H results in the appearance of the ms voice type ui. This does not occur when using tkcon as follows:

after 5000 {twapi::send_keys [list {LWIN} H]}

Waiting 5 seconds allows for the placement of the cursor in a .txt document.
However, the only (apparent) result is the presentation of "LWIN H" in the text document.

Please advise as to how to achieve the intended result - the appearance of the voice type ui.

Correction! Depression of the left windows key (LWIN) and the 'h' key.

My understanding of the docs specifies the use of the + after a braced escape sequence in the release of both after the 'h' is sent.

after 5000 {twapi::send_keys {{LWIN}+h}

The result is still the same - the start menu opens and 'H' appears in the entry box. It seems as if the 'h' is being ignored.

Please advise on how the voice type ui can be opened with twapi.

As far as I understand the code, there are only these 4 modifiers for pressed keys.


That's why the LWIN Key + H doesn't work

Greg, thanks so much..I looked as send_input but didn't get the 0 part of the syntax. Seemed the key code vs scan code part confused me. Again, thanks
