Press -keylist|[-hold|-release] <key combination>

Description

Press is used to emulate keystrokes. With no switches given, Press will first hold down each of the keys in the given order, and then release them. If -hold or -release switches are given, the keys will either only be held, or only be released -- which can be useful when an action requires holding a key or key combination while being performed.

Key names are given by your keyboard driver. To see the full list of keys for your current input locale, use Press -keylist.
