Hi Dave,
Do you know if there is a way to use the spacebar with another action? I'm trying to use Ctrl+Spacebar in an Excel file to highlight an entire column (which has blanks) not pullin into BP, because it's too large, it kept crashing my stuff. Hoping there is a quick fix here. I've tried to put in a navigate stage and also to build together in a calc stage. Nothing is working.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!
Jenna

Use this expression: "^ "

^ is the special character for Ctrl when using send keys. The other special keys for send keys can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.sendkeys?view=netcore-3.1

Hi Nicholas,

I tried that first. It doesn't work.

If send keys aren't working, you might want to try send key events. A guide on how to use them is here: https://portal.blueprism.com/documents/guide-send-keys-and-send-key-events

I imagine the syntax for send key events would be something like: <{CTRL}{SPACE}>{CTRL}

just to add up... Use Send Keys with an input of "' '".
