Click

The km.press([key]) command is used to make the keyboard press and release a key over some time. Rather unintuitively, for compatibility’s sake, the command is called km.press, despite being responsible for a full click of a key.

By replacing key with the number of any key, as defined in the Keys section, this command can be used for all keys.

Currently this command presses, delays, releases, delays, and then returns to the hardware state.

There is a delay for how long the press and release are held for. The press and release durations are uniformly random values between 75ms and 125ms, and 125ms and 175ms respectively. For fine control over the duration of the delays, I strongly recommend developers use the commands defined in Set Key State.

Clicks can be overridden by the user via the Hardware Override.

If the key is physically pressed when the click starts, it will be force released after the press delay, and then the release will be removed after the release delay, putting it back in the hardware state (pressed if it’s still physically pressed, or released if the user released the key at some point).
