Fingertype scripting phrases support the Visual Basic SendKeys syntax, as documented below.

 

Supported modifiers:

 

+ = Shift

^ = Control

Surround sequences of characters or key names with parentheses in order to

modify them as a group.  For example, '+abc' shifts only 'a', while '+(abc)' shifts

all three characters.

( = Begin modifier group (see above)

) = End modifier group (see above)

{ = Begin key name text (see below)
