Question

The code

Robot r=new Robot();
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK);

does not close after printing the V. How do I fix this?

You have to release the keys after pressing them:

Robot r=new Robot();
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK);
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK);
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK);

You might as well write a method that presses and releases a key. :-) – Gilbert Le Blanc Apr 28 '13 at 12:22
