Article: [senit] "Press any key" Keyboard Access

Thank you Steve - that looks like just the tool for the job! I have had a
chance to look at the tutorial and think I can get my head round writing a
simple (if repetitive) bit of script to trick every key into thinking it is
a left mouse click!

Brilliant, many thanks.

Claire

Perhaps something that can be done with AutoHotKey?
