There're some ways to achieve that via Windows hooks and SendMessage to send a key to a specific window or application. Usually Ventuz has the keyboard focus, so a normal keystroke will be received by Ventuz. Anyway, all of the existing solutions require scripting. You coudl cheat Ventuz using the expression node: you can type one (!) C# expression <expr> this expression must evaluate as int, long, byte, float, double (all numeric types) the expression compiler is actually doing that (for a float expression node): float Function( float a, float b, float c, float d ) {     return (float) <expr>; } if you find a valid expression for <expr> you can try this! please note that not all system libraries are linked to the compiler. System.Windows.Forms for example is not! Another solution could be to hook-up a separate application intercepting all (!) keystrokes on the keyboard and forward them to certain applications. But this will require some development work. Ralf    Report
