Simulating arrow key presses

[milesromeno]

In my .skhdrc I am attempting to bind lcmd + jikl to emulate arrow keys. I use the keywords up,left,down,right following keywords (modifiers and literals) #1

lcmd - i : up
lcmd - j : left
lcmd - k : down
lcmd - l : right

I save and run skhd -V, but I am getting the error Unknown command

hotkey :: #131 {
	mod: 'lcmd'
	key: 'i' (0x22)
	cmd: 'up'
}
hotkey :: #132 {
	mod: 'lcmd'
	key: 'j' (0x26)
	cmd: 'left'
}
hotkey :: #133 {
	mod: 'lcmd'
	key: 'k' (0x28)
	cmd: 'down'
}
hotkey :: #134 {
	mod: 'lcmd'
	key: 'l' (0x25)
	cmd: 'right'
}
skhd: watching files for changes:
	/Users/MYUSER/.skhdrc
fish: Unknown command: left

fish: Unknown command: up

Is skhd capable of simulating arrow key presses? If so, how can I correct my config?

The hint is Unknown command... If you want to simulate keypresses you can use skhd directly with the -k flag

hotkey :: #131 {
	mod: 'lcmd'
	key: 'i' (0x22)
	cmd: 'skhd -k "up"'
}
hotkey :: #132 {
	mod: 'lcmd'
	key: 'j' (0x26)
	cmd: 'skhd -k "left"'
}
hotkey :: #133 {
	mod: 'lcmd'
	key: 'k' (0x28)
	cmd: 'skhd -k "down"'
}
hotkey :: #134 {
	mod: 'lcmd'
	key: 'l' (0x25)
	cmd: 'skhd -k "right"'
}
