How to Automate Key Presses on Computer Keyboard?

If you wish to use the auto key presser to automate tasks on your PC, follow the steps below.

• Before being able to automate your keypresses, you will have to download and install the tool AutoHotkey from the internet. This is a simple scripting language that lets you make easy scripts.
• Once AutoHotkey is installed on your PC, press the right-click button anywhere and go to AutoHotkey Script from the opened menu.

• Once that’s done, you need to then paste the script given below.

• Once you’ve entered this script, your PC will wait for 30 minutes before pressing the spacebar. 1800000 here represents the milliseconds, and these can be adjusted as per your need. For example, if you want your PC to make presses every two minutes, you should set 60 seconds* 2 minutes* 1000 milliseconds that will be 120000 milliseconds in total.
• You should not set the milliseconds number to very low because this will press the spacebar multiple times in a second, which can lead to apparent problems.
• Next, you have to save the file by the name you desire. Then just double-click on the file to run it whenever you want.
• You can also send one hotkey or some character by changing the line (space) to anything else. You may add the characters you desired or special keys on the documentation page of AutoHotkey. Let’s say you want to send the word “sad” and press the spacebar, you can write this script as below.

Send, be sad (space)
