How to use multiple hotkeys in workflows

I have been using multiple hotkeys for years now and this saves me an awful lot of time. I have my workflow in place with all the commands that I use most often at the top, and then a second layer of commands I use less often at the bottom. Here is a guide about hotkeys that I found really helpful, I do hope that this guide makes your life a lot easier.

  1. Add the Send Hotkey activity to the canvas.

  2. Choose a way to input the command. You can

  • click the key combination — using {TAB 3} for 3 tab keys, for example;
  • use the syntax to combine keys — typing +{END}+{DOWN} for Shift + END + DOWN, for example.
  1. To conclude, make sure you set the “Delay between the keypress” to 0.
