keypress

Simulates a key press, leaving the key held until you call keyrelease.

keypress(keycode: number): ()

The keycode is a Win32 Virtual Key Code, not a Roblox Enum.KeyCode value. For letters, pass the uppercase ASCII byte (string.byte("A") returns 65, which is VK_A). Learn more here.

The Roblox window must be focused for the call to register. See iswindowactive().

The pressed key stays held until you call keyrelease(keycode).
