I need to send the "f5" keystroke to a specific application once every 60 seconds. The application remains running in a fixed position on one of three screens.
Is there any way to automate this keystroke without having to remain in focus?

2What exactly are you trying to do? Is this a refresh for something? Maybe there is a better way than sending a keystroke. – Joe Aug 22 '18 at 12:12

import pyautogui
import time
while True:
pyautogui.press('f5')
time.sleep(60)

This will work however it will not resolve the issue of refreshing the application (f5) while it is not in focus. – user3743054 Aug 22 '18 at 13:29

you can use pyautogui to click on the application, so F5 knows what its refreshing. ] – ProgSnob Aug 23 '18 at 14:09
