I am looking to see if FARR can by the use of a hot key send "control f". I am wanting to be able to search for something using a web browser but using FARR.
Any Ideas?

You could try WinSendKeys, if FARR can't do it directly for you (I'm no FARR user, so can't help in that corner) |

Can you elaborate how you would want to use farr to do this?
Do you really mean that rather than hitting Ctrl+F you would rather hit break key, type something like "search" into farr window, then hit enter, and have FARR send the Ctrl+F? Seems a bit counter-productive..

Mouser,
Sure I would like the ability to hit a hotkey and FARR issue the control f command. If possiable I would like it to paste what I copied in the clipboard into the find window. Internet Explorer would already be open...
Does this make since?

This has now been added -- see the help files for help on using the "sendkeys" command in an alias result. You can send things like Ctrl+F, function keys, etc.

Mouser thanks for adding this. I have been trying to get it to work and can't.
How would you do it if you wanted to do a control F?

the result would like look this:
sendkeys ^f
for example:
send a control F to the last window| sendkeys ^f
NOTE: it's important the f be lowercase (other wise it's like sending a Ctrl+Shift+f which you dont want).

just use $$c to send clipboard contents, so:
sendkeys ^f$$c
if you wanted to trigger the enter key automatically you could make it:
sendkeys ^f$$c{ENTER}

Does this work for you in IE 7 by chance? I get the find window but nothing gets transferred to the window?? This works fine in google chrome.

works in my IE 8.
what you might try is sticking in a delay between the Ctrl+F and the clipboard text, like so:
send a control F to the last window| sendkeys ^f{SLEEP 500}$$c{ENTER}
