Ctrl + LeftClick in Desktop Recorder

Hi I would like to run a PowerAutomate Button in PowerBI dashboard. The only way I know is to press simultaneously Ctrl+LeftMouseClick.

Below is what was recorded in Power Automate Desktop but it did not perform the Ctrl+LeftMouseClick.

I have tried to modify as per Solved: Re: Passing keyboard shortcuts to Power Automate d... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com) but it's still not working. I will appreciate your help to show me how.

    I am not at my computer, but I believe the Advanced Settings of the Press Button command should have an option for how to click along with an option for a modifier key. 

    If it is not, then just move the mouse to button (do not click) using that function or a “Move mouse to element” command. Then use the “Send Mouse Click” command. That one for sure has the option for adding a modifier key to the click. 

    Best of luck!

    Hi @MichaelAnnis 

     

    How can I find the "Advanced Setting"? I can only find "edit"..

     

    By the way, I found another workaround myself that works!

    I was wrong, was just basing it off false memory apparently.  Your solution is best.  Glad you were able to find it.
