# keyclick

Simulates a complete press-and-release of the given key.

```luau theme={null}
keyclick(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.](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes)

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

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type     | Description            |
| --------- | -------- | ---------------------- |
| `keycode` | `number` | Win32 Virtual Key Code |

## Returns

<code title="the function does not return a value.">void</code>

## Aliases

* `keytap`

## Example

In a typing game, listen for the Sound the engine spawns under workspace each round and tap out its `Name` letter by letter.

  ```luau Example 1 theme={null}
  <<<<<<< HEAD
  keyclick(10)
  =======
  -- keyclick(keycode: number): ()
  >>>>>>> 50e30f53759b0538759af25c9b271514aa2c9290
  ```

  ```luau Example 2 theme={null}
  local function tapWord(word)
      for i = 1, #word do
          local keycode = string.byte(word:sub(i, i):upper())

          if keycode >= 65 and keycode <= 90 then
              keyclick(keycode)
              task.wait(0.1)
          end
      end
  end

  workspace.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
      if child:IsA("Sound") and iswindowactive() then
          task.spawn(tapWord, child.Name)
      end
  end)
  ```

<Tip>
  Equivalent to calling `keypress` followed immediately by `keyrelease`.
