robot class key combinations with processing

in Programming Questions • 6 months ago

hello, I am trying to send key combinations through my processing program to send out commands to AutoHotkey, such as Control+Shift+Left, Control+Shift+Right.

But the problem is that basically nothing happens with no error: Here is the code below:

import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
Robot robot;
try { robot = new Robot(); }
catch (AWTException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
//Control+Shift+Right
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT); robot.keyPress(39);robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL); robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT); robot.keyRelease(39);
//Control+Shift+Left
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);robot.keyPress(37);robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL); robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);robot.keyRelease(37);

And another problem is that I am trying to send simply the ENTER key but every time I do, it pops up with an OSC error for some odd reason (I am also using the OSC library)
