help (keypressed)

how can i use keypressed to press a specific key like "s"

You would have to press the key yourself, but the variable key always stores the last key that has been pressed. Example:

void draw(){}
void keyPressed(){
  if(key == 's'){
    println("'s' pressed");
  }
}

If you're only interested in knowing whether the 'S' key was pressed, use keyCode:

void keyPressed() {
  final k = keyCode;
  if (k == 'S')  println("Either 'S' or 's' was pressed");
}

However, if you need to distinguish the lower & upper cases, use key instead:

void keyPressed() {
  if      (key == 'S')  println('S');
  else if (key == 's')  println('s');
}
