solved [SOLVED] in Gmail. send a series of keystrokes to forward and change the subject

[snsokstan]

I am not successful in setting up a Workflow to do this:

 

From an open Gmail, I want to send this series of keystrokes to avoid a bunch of clicks needed to get access to the "subject line" in the forwarded email pane.

 

I want to send these:

• F
• shift+tab x 3
• down arrow x 3
• Enter

 

I designed this workflow (snip attached) to send those keystrokes when I double tap the left shift key.  But it doesn't work right. Maybe it sends the keystrokes too quickly.

Have you tried adding a Delay utility between the keypresses?

Yes, a 1 sec delay worked. Thanks!
