SikuliX

right/left shift/ctrl

Asked by Georg Grabler

For some applications, it's necessary to differ the right or left shift/ctrl properly. In example, VT-Terminals without changing the VT-Configuration for the users, needs to have RCTRL pressed as "enter".

Sikuli by default seems to use the LCTRL code, so my question is:
Is it possible to simulate the RCTRL properly in some way (like passing a keycode in some way to type().

Otherwhise - makes it sense to open a bug report/feature request?

The Key class in Sikuli is based on the underlying Java class java.awt.event.KeyEvent.
A distinction between left and right shift or control key is not available with this class, so it will not be a standard Sikuli feature.

You have to find your own solution.

Thanks for the fast reply, I will write a small C program simulating this for me.
