Hi, I don’t know if I’m in the right place at all, as well, I’ve not had any experience in any form of C or C++ programming (and the other languages along with that)…

I would like to make an application that can input keys automatically. For example, I need something that will press the letter “A” periodically. The program will need to override another program as to eliminate repeatitive activity. How should I go about that?
