10.2: Hot key combination does not work correctly

Asked by Nassim Bahari

Hi,
I have Sikuli 0.10 on a virtual machine and python 3.2 and MySQLdb. I downloaded the Sikuli from

https://launchpad.net/sikuli/+download
Sikuli-IDE-win32-0.10.2.exe (md5, sig) Sikuli-IDE for Windows (installer)

(The reason why I did not install Sikuli 1 was that it would close itself on VM each time I want to take a screenshot. This does not happen with Sikuli 0.10)

 I had the problem that nowhere (even in Webbrowser) I could type any letter or number which is the initial letter of the hot key combination. For example, if it is defined "enter" and I type "e" in sikuli or anywhere, it wants to take a screenshot. Please help me to solve this problem. I am completely new to Sikuli.
Thank you in advance

This is a known problem with 10.2 and I guess it will not be fixed since 10.2 is frozen.
You have to set the hotkey to something, that you do not use, while Sikuli IDE is running.

Python and MySQL are not relevant for Sikuli.

The only prereq is a Java JRE (SUN original, best: latest version).

What is your problem with Sikuli X?

What is the host system?
What VM do you use?

--- Did you use the Sikuli installer?
--- Did you run the Sikuli-IDE.bat to start the IDE?
--- When switching between 10.2 and X and vice versa, you have to uninstall using the Windows Software Uninstall Service. If you did not, reinstall the previous one, restart system, uninstall correctly and restart again. Then you might install another Sikuli.
--- Check after uninstalling, that nothing is left in System Path (prefs -> system extended -> environment).
--- Check System Path after installing: path-to-Sikuli\libs;path-to-java\jre6\bin should be added.

Hi,
Thank you for your help. The problem with screenshots and also the problem with hot key combination does not exist anymore. However, my VM is a 32 bit Win7 Ultimate.
Until next question,
Thank you again
