I generally tap it with my right little finger. If this is a silly answer, please provide more information on what you're trying to do, on what OS, etc. Or, maybe, show us what you've tried, and what references you've read?	[reply]

Sounds like you need a robotic arm with either an IP or serial interface :) Your question is woefully lacking in details. What you really want to do is send either a LF or a CR-LF to some process, presumably one currently selected in a GUI. The problem is that in most cases (at least for unix), the pipes between the keyboard input and STDIN for the connected application may not be writeable by other processes. There are a few CPAN modules that support keyboard input interception. You could then act as a kind of proxy and inject extra data whenever you want.	[reply]

It depends on your code, but this simulates it. `print "\n":` [download] I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth Remember How Lucky You Are	[reply] [d/l]

How can a question be a fairy or demon to someone? At least wikipedia describes an IMP as a fairy or demon. Please elaborate. `s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{});#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(\|?{%` `+`.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e	[reply] [d/l] [select]
