Looking at What is the difference between the commands SendKeys, SendSystemKeys or SendDragonKeys? it doesn't seem possible with SendKeys, SendSystemKeys or SendDragonKeys.

Note the Declare stuff has to be ABOVE the Sub Main in your script. Then this is what it will look like if you're using a modifier key:

Declare Function keybd_event Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal vKey As Long, bScan As Long, ByVal Flag As Long, ByVal exInfo As Long) As Long
Const VK_LWIN = 91

Sub Main

keybd_event(VK_LWIN,0,0,0)
SendSystemKeys "{Right}"
keybd_event(VK_LWIN,0,2,0)
