Sending Ctrl + W from the iRule program

[Michael Gregorakos]

Hi,
I tried the following 4  combinations to send Ctrl + W from iRule program and none of them worked could you show me where I went wrong and send the string that I could copy and paste. (see below)

Three of the attempts were sent as 1 Device Code the first shown below was sent as 2 device codes

I don’t need to enter it into MCE Controller because if I hit Ctrl W from my wireless keyboard it launches the internet short cut perfectly.

(Ctrl)\x0D New Command w\x0D            2 Separate Entries
(Ctrl)\x0D(W)\x0D                                          1 Entry
(Ctrl)\x0D+(W)\x0D                                        1 Entry
(Ctrl)\x0D(+)(W)\x0D                                     1 Entry

Any input would be much appreciated.

The virtual keycode for 'D' is 0x44 or 68.

There already exists a command for Ctrl-D in MCEControl.commands:

<SendInput Cmd="moreinfo" vk="68" Shift="false" Ctrl="true" Alt="false" />

you can either simply send the

moreinfo

command or you can modify MCEControl.commands to have your own command that does the same thing, e.g.:

<SendInput Cmd="ctrl-d" vk="68" Shift="false" Ctrl="true" Alt="false" />

Hope this helps
