Hi everyone,  
I was wondering how it was possible to use shortcuts with Windows.RPA.  
I had thought this way:  
Send Keys keys={CTRL+A}  
But not work. There’s a way? I haven’t found anything about it, only with Selenium.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi Salvatore,

Based on the documentation examples [Send Keys](https://robocorp.com/docs/libraries/rpa-framework/rpa-windows/keywords#send-keys) and [RPA.Windows \> Readme \> Keyboard and mouse \> Examples](https://robocorp.com/docs/libraries/rpa-framework/rpa-windows)

I think you’ll find that should be:

```python
Send Keys keys={CTRL}(+A)

```

But what you might have wanted is a lower case a not the upper case A (SHIFT+a)

```python
Send Keys keys={CTRL}(+a)

```

Hopefully that gives you what you wanted (I haven’t used this library myself),

Dave.
