I need to make the computer think that the user pressed the enter key without the user actually pressing it. I wrote some interesting code that can do some really cool stuff , but the only thing is that the user has to press enter like a couple thousand times. Is there any way I can write some code to do this?

Yes it is possible. Just write the code so the keystate of the enter key makes the stuff happen instead of using input or some other prefab code where you just absolutely have to press enter to save data. Then you make a variable and set it to 0. Go back and change the code for the enter key to include the new variable (add or var_name = 1). Then all you have to do is change the variable to 1 instead of 0 when you want it to fake pressing the enter key.

errrmm I'm not an expert, but as far as i know, there are no scan codes for key-combinations, so i would suppose that you should have to IF's on with the CTRL one with the V

now.. i havent tried this, but i suppos it should work.

//[EDIT] i just tried it and it works perfectly. the only problem about it is that there might be difficulties if you have other tasks for the CTRL/V keys... these actions will be carried out along with the CTRL+V action
