Send Key Events multiple times not working

Hi All , I am using Global send keys events to send Down arrow keys to application. It works when I use {DOWN}/{Down}, but I want to send keys multiple times. As per the documents https://portal.blueprism.com/documents/guide-send-keys-and-send-key-events I have tried {Down 10} , it says invalid keystroke.
