Example: Checking the Status of a Toggle Key

In this example, we explain how to verify whether a specific toggle key (e.g., Caps Lock) is active.

• Action: Get Key Status

• Input Value: Caps

  • The argument (Caps) specifies the toggle key whose status needs to be checked.

• Output Value: {Status}

  • The result of this action is stores in the {Status} dynamic variable, with the following possible values:

    • True: If the key status is retrieved successfully.

    • False: If the retrieval fails or an error occurs.

• Logical Explanation: The Get Key Status action reads the key name from the Input Value column (Caps). It checks whether the specified toggle key is currently active or inactive. The result (True) is stored in the {Status} variable.
