Hi Gilles, I did a quick test here and it seems that the User32 function keybd_event will do the trick. I've used the following code:

#define KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 2 ; 0x02 #define VK_SHIFT = 16 ; 0x10 #define VK_CONTROL = 17 ; 0x11 #define I_key = 73 ; 0x49 $prompt="HTML_widget" activate "USER32".keybd_event(<VK_CONTROL>, 0, 0, 0) activate "USER32".keybd_event(<VK_SHIFT>, 0, 0, 0) activate "USER32".keybd_event(<I_key>, 0, 0, 0) activate "USER32".keybd_event(<VK_CONTROL>, 0, <KEYEVENTF_KEYUP>, 0) activate "USER32".keybd_event(<VK_SHIFT>, 0, <KEYEVENTF_KEYUP>, 0)

Hope this helps. Daniel
