Pressing function keys

[Chicken Wing]

How do I make the script change tab by pressing the function keys (e.g. f6 to switch to magic tab)? 

When I use 

getKeyboard().typeKey((char) KeyEvent.VK_F6);

It just types "u", if anyone knows what's wrong I would be grateful for some help

 

 

Edit: nvm I fixed it guy

Robot r = new Robot();
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_F6);
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_F6);

 

Would this work?
