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. Refer screen shot attached   Any input will be really helpful.   Regards RanjeetKumar

That works for Send Keys not Send Key Events. If you switch to using Send Keys, it'll work; and if your application requires Send Key Events, I would use a loop to send the down arrow multiple times.

Yeah, as David suggested I would create an action in business object to receive as input a required key (Down, Up, F11, or whatever) and in that object just have navigate stage sending this once. Then you can all repeatedly this action as you need it.
