SikuliX-IDE-1.0-Win32Beta500 keyDown bug

What should that do or what does it in the current version?

The function just presses and holds CTRL, then a and then v
Then it releases CTRL, then a and then v

well for some reason my r930 version is no longer opening. so it seems like i have bigger problems. ill report back if i still have the same problem once i get the old version to run again.

Try this: delete the registry key for the Sikuli prefs as mentioned in faq 2005.

I will check, wether there is a problem on Windows with the fact, that both versions are using the same registry branch.

deleting the registry key for the sikuli prefs got the r930 ide running again, thanks RaiMan.
i ran a script that should have copied some text from a program, typed 'HA' and then pasted the text.
it works as i expect in the r930 ide but in the beta only the text was copied, 'HA' was not typed in. i think maybe keyUp() was the issue but i'm not sure.
here is a snippet of the code:

keyDown(Key.CTRL +'c')
keyUp()
setROI(Region(877,199,1015,289))
click("Edit.png")
wait("AccountNumAc.png", 20)
drag(Pattern("1367427116959.png").targetOffset(-113,-28))
dropAt("AccountNumbe-1.png")
type('HA')
keyDown(Key.CTRL + 'v')
keyUp()

type('HA') works for me.
What is shown in the log? --- should be: [log] TYPE "HA"
May be a short wait is needed after the drag.

BTW:
type('c', KeyModifier.CTRL)

is better than

keyDown(Key.CTRL +'c')
keyUp()

since it works more than the shortcut is defined:
- press and hold CTRL
- press c
- release CTRL

this is exactly what the above type does.

or this:
keyDown(Key.CTRL +'c')
keyUp('c')
keyUp()

ok i will try it. thank you.
