Hi everybody, I would like to know if there is a way to use command on Excel for example if I need to use Ctr+G on Excel I send the keystroke to a cell and it literally writes Ctr+G.

and if I try to target excel instead of a cell it just clear the A1 cell.

Is there a way to use this type of combination on excel with Nintex RPA?

If you target the "Excel" window, change the "mode" from Overwrite to "None", then drop in your key sequence, it appears to work.

Thank you that works, also I found that if you use a "Select Cell" action before send the key sequence to Excel windows, it sends the key sequence to the selected cell.
