https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Is-it-possible-to-send-the-windows-logo-button-as-a-global-send/m-p/70288#M22893 I am slightly confused about using the Windows key as part of a mainframe interface. Our mainframe interface uses a hllapi API and the keystrokes available using that interface will match the keystrokes available in the legacy mainframe application - which will not include the Windows key that is related to the OS rather than the mainframe. Has the Windows key been mapped to something within the mainframe such as a certain keystroke/keystrokes or to run a macro built using the mainframe emulator application? If so you should just be able to map to a different key within the emulators key map configuraiton.

Is it possible to use the windows logo button in this way? There are a number of useful shortcuts that use this button.

For example you can lock your computer by using ""WindowsKey""+L , but you cannot lock your PC by using Control+Escape + L. I may be wrong , but i've been trawling through the internet looking for the SendKeys window key and cannot see it.

You can emulate it using the CTRL + ESC combo but that indeed does not give the same results when an application is listening for a WIN key press. The only way I know to send the WIN key is using a code stage and invoking the WIN32 function SendInput.
