Not sure why shift doesn't work, but there's a very easy way to achieve what you want.
I'm not familiar with sendkeys enough to be sure about this, but I'd imagine what it is doing is saying: shift keyDown followed immediately by shift keyUp , so that you aren't getting time to click before the keyUp event. Unless of course the :shift token is doing something special. Like I said I'm not at all familiar with it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
