/keypress¶
Syntax¶
/keypress name [hold|chat]
Description¶
Simulates key presses for keybinds (e.g. "jump", "forward"), virtual keyboard (e.g. "shift+b"), or direct chat window input. Does not physically press keys, making it safe for background operation.
Note: /keypress usage outside of a script is not recommended nor consistent.
Parameters¶
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| hold | Maintains key in pressed state until released |
| chat | Directs input to chat/UI fields instead of game world |
Note: Cannot use both together. For chat input, use simple key names ("X" not "shift+x"). "hold" works with movement/toggle commands.
Examples¶
EQUI and MQ Keybinds¶
/keypress jump # Simulate the key mapped to JUMP
/keypress HAIL # Simulate the key mapped to the HAIL emote
/keypress NETSTAT # Simulate the key mapped to the NETSTAT command
Keys and Key Combinations¶
/keypress h # Virtual h key press (will trigger HAIL by default)
/keypress shift+b # Virtual shift+B key press
/keypress ctrl+i # Virtual control+I key press
Advanced Usage¶
/keypress forward hold # Begin moving forward
/keypress forward # Stop moving forward
/keypress r chat # Type 'r' in chat input
/keypress R chat # Type 'R' in chat input
