Roomie Agent, sending the escape key

There is a long list of special keyboard parameters built into Roomie Agent when using the .KEY DOWN command. The actual name of the special command is what you enter. These are some of the most common:

ESCAPE

TAB

F4, F5, F6 (etc...)

HOME

PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN

FORWARD DELETE

There are many more and they're usually just the capitalized version of the name.

Thank you.

What can be used for the COMMAND key? For instance, I'd like to use .KEY DOWN to perform COMMAND+Q to quit Plex.

Thanks!

Command key equivalents are indeed not in the command list right now. However, we're deploying an update in the next couple of days with these new commands that would work much better for that anyway:

.APPLICATION QUIT

.APPLICATION HIDE

.APPLICATION FORCE QUIT

These all take the application name as a parameter. Roomie Agent will be auto-updated to 1.0.2 this weekend for that and a few other improvements.

Thank you.
