Is there any way to hold a key for few seconds?

I wish to hold a "S" key for 3 seconds and stop.

Is there any way to do so as PAD only allows command keys to hold down.

I tried a python script "pyautogui.keyDown('a')" but did not work on memo pad.

    Not as far as I know. But you can use a different tool, such as AutoHotkey to do that and then have PAD call the AHK script.

    Thankyou so much!

    I will try creating a script with AutoHotKey.
