Holding down keys

Does anyone know how to hold down keys in StrokeIt. For example what is the command for holding down the left arrow key on the keyboard?

Also does anyone know if StrokeIt can be used to play pc games? For example map keyboard keys to the mouse?

Easy!!
lets take the left arrow key .
under send keystrokes: type ' [left_down]'
this will hold down the left key .similarly use [left_up] for bringing up the key.
this can be used for copy and other commands as well
ex : [ctrl_down]c[ctrl_up] for copy
nice ,eh?
and yes strokeit for games is possible just like any other app. u just hav to crete a new app and then add the application's(game's) filename into application identifier.
clear?
and yes read the faq and search the forums as well

Thanks. However when typing in [left_down] the cursor only moves left one step at a time and I have to move the mouse left again for it to move left again. I was hoping that I could have it so the left arrow is pressed down until I move the mouse in another direction?
Can this be done? I hope this makes sense?

i wonder y this doesn't work.
when i use window switcher{alt +tab} things seemt to work

It works but I want it to move the cursor continously with out me having to keep moving the mouse back to the centre again.

what i meant was [alt_down] results in alt being pressed down
but [left_down] results in left being pressed down only once
Or so it seems

Left_down results in the left arrow key being pressed, but not repeated. It's still technically down, but it's not sending repeat codes. If you want to press the left_down key multiple times, you'll have to enter multiple

That wouldn't work for me. The thing is, I am disabled and use a infra red head mouse to operate my pc. However I want to play games on my pc and a lot of them only let you control the player by using keys or a joystick. Therefore I wanted to use a program that could map keyboard keys to my mouse movements. However I am not sure if StrokeIt is suitable.
