LUA: How to send a specific key to client (reg. ENTER or -)

LUA development questions:

How do i send a ENTER key to the game/client. As if someone pressed the ENTER key or someone pressed - to open the menu?

We don't have any specific function to do this. You can, however, send a set_key command with windower.send_command. Generally speaking, this isn't a very good approach, though; there are usually more direct and efficient ways to achieve what you want. You should probably describe what you want to accomplish, instead.

Like i said, i want to simulate ENTER to advance a cutscene or - to open the main menu. Very simple. I tried windower.send_command('setkey enter down;setkey enter up') and that worked. It's not pretty but it does the trick.

The Enternity addon already makes most cutscenes auto-advance. It only stops when there's a choice you need to make. It does this by removing the "wait for enter" byte sequence from the chat log, which is much faster than pressing enter since the next line won't be delayed.

I know the eternity addon, it was just an example. For now my workaround does the trick. but it would be nice to be able to send control characters to the client, like ENTER, PageUp/Down etc.

I'd just rather not encourage sending key presses. There's almost always a better way to get things done (generally, packet manipulations are more robust). There are a few cases where sending key presses is the only way to accomplish a task, but what we have in place now is a sufficient workaround for those very rare cases.

That was what I wanted him to clarify. This is a classic example of the XY Problem.
