def keystroke(*keys)
  return if keys.empty?

  keybd_event keys.first, 0, KEYBD_EVENT_KEYDOWN, 0
  sleep KEYBD_KEYDELAY
  keystroke *keys[1..-1]
  sleep KEYBD_KEYDELAY
  keybd_event keys.first, 0, KEYBD_EVENT_KEYUP, 0
end

#type_in(string) ⇒ Object

String together keystrokes, simulates the user typing.

Note: This method can be slow for large strings. Consider using the clipboard instead.

Examples:

send 2+2<CR>
