What are you looking to accomplish with this? I can't see it working like you want it to work since you will be switching out of whatever program you're using and will essentially be pressing the ESC key with the desktop selected.
On screen keyboard would be about all I could see working. |

Paste into Notepad and save with a .vbs extension:
Set wshShell = wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{ESC}"

Ok let me explain I use XBMC now called Kodi and the ESC keyboard button is used to switch directly to the Home Screen in XBMC. And I use a remote control with XBMC and want to change what button on the remote uses the ESC Key. Now I also use a program called True Launch Bar which allows me to make hotkeys for shortcuts I place on the True Launch bar. So what I would like to do is create a ESC shortcut and place it on the True Launch Bar and then make a hotkey for it from one of the buttons on my remote control. |

This would be the easiest way to do it for me.
There are other ways to accomplish this. There's is even a XBMC Add On for my remote that does it. However I tried it and I just could not get it to work with my remote. |

Blob Man that was quick That worked perfect and was able to make the green "Start" button on my remote the ESC key. So that button now takes me directly to the Home screen in XBMC when pressed where ever I am in XBMC. Big thanks blob |
