Some keys are special which is supported by specific TE which is not part of the package hence with simulate keystroke package, you can pass any key combination on the Terminal Emulator screen.

  1. Execute TE connect package
  2. Pause the bot
  3. Create a duplicate tab of the same bot
  4. Drag Simulate Keystroke package
  5. Provide a 'Title' of TE screen
  6. Specify the following pattern in the "Keystrokes" section
    1. [TAB] [INSERT]

Example:
If the requirement is to enter [INSERT] key then, you can pass the following pattern in the "Keystrokes" section 
[TAB] [INSERT]

To pass any key on TE screen via Simulate Keystroke package, make sure to pass the [TAB] key first then other keys will be followed.

Hi @Rajesh.P1 ,

 

Please use [TAB] + anykey from keystrokes and see. To pass any key on TE screen via Simulate Keystroke package, make sure to pass the [TAB] key first then other keys will be followed. Please refer here for further information on this.
