Type keycode not currently a sikuli constant

Asked by Andrew Aslinger

We are testing a Solaris system over VNC and need the functionality to press the Help button (solaris keyboard). It appears that the sikuli only supports typing text, or the defined constants. Is there a way to test a specific key code, to send as a command?

What key do you press, when using the VNC manually?

Type internally is bound to the standard US keyboard layout (no localisation yet).

Any possibility, to map the key via VNC to a key on your keyboard, that can be typed somehow using type()?

We are testing a system which is running Solaris 9, and leverages the Solaris "Help" Key to perform a function. This key is currently using the keysym code "0xFF6A". I have been separately exploring the possibility to remap the key, but this would interfere with users of the system at the physical lab so we are trying to find another workaround first. That is why I was wondering if there was an function to send the underlying keycode.

Ok, understood.

To have a chance, to define and submit your own Key constants, you would have to rebuild the package from scratch with the appropriate additions made in the java code.

Another possibility would be to make your scripts in java and overwrite/add the appropriate class/method definitions.

Good luck.

Tip: post a request bug for a more flexible and customizable key board interface.
