How do I automate keyboard shortcut

[shanski21]

Hi,

I a complete novice when it come using selenium IDE therefore was wondering if someone could possibly help me.

Basically I am trying to automate keyboard shortcut for web application which turn the map background 'ON' and 'OFF'. For example if I want to turn off the map background, I would hold down the control button followed by pressing the letter 'B' on the keyboard. The same is true for turning the  boundarues 'ON' again.

I know I have to use the ControlKeyDown, ControlKeyUp and KeyPress functions but I am struggling with the actual syntax.

I would very grateful if some can please post a HTML code that I can try to resolve this problem.

Cheers

PS: I am using FF3.5
