SendKeys but hold down key for X seconds?

SendKeys is very useful but is there a way to send key and keep it held down for X number of seconds?

For the application I am automating from, I can probably use Mouse action to click and hold down the virtual keypad on the screen (haven't really looked into the relevant Mouse class method for this option yet.)

Still, I would much prefer to be able to send a key & keep it held for X seconds.

Hope you will add this feature (if it doesn't already exist) to the next release of Ranorex.

Which key do you want to hold down for X seconds?

Ideally, I would like to hold down any key (that SendKeys could send) for X seconds. Perhaps you could make a new overloaded method for SendKeys that takes a parameter for holding down key for X seconds?

We discussed this topic today and decided to support this feature in the next version.
