    Hi @zulfa_r ,

    The "Send Keys" Action sends keystrokes to the application that is currently active. It can either be sent in the background as a software input or can be mimicked like from a keyboard when sent as hardware keys. To simulate key-presses inside a Send Keys Action, use the following notation: {KeyCode}. where KeyCode is the capital form of the letter itself for letters A-Z. OemSemicolon for ';', Oemplus for '+', Oemcomma for ',', OemMinus for '-', OemPeriod for '.', OemQuestion for '?', Oemtilde for '~', OemOpenBrackets for '[', OemPipe for '|', etc. 

     

    Further {KeyCode1}({KeyCode2}) would send a combination of the keys {KeyCode1} + {KeyCode2}.

     

    In your case for the key combination SHIFT + F5 you would need to use this key code: {Shift}({F5})
