SIKULI API - How to use type with special combination keys like ALT+TAB

Asked by Elaine

I started one application and I need acess another application with special combination keys like ALT+TAB.

I write the following code, but nothing happened:

DesktopKeyboard keyboard = new DesktopKeyboard();
keyboard.type("\ue022"+"\t");

I try to use key constants, but it does not work.

Thanks Edmundo,

The command "type("\t", KeyModifier.ALT)" work well in Sikuli IDE, but I use sikuli-api in a java program, the constant KeyModifier.ALT does not exists.

The KeyModifier class is inside the package org.sikuli.script, did you imported it?

Hello Edmundo,

I use the sikuli-api-1.0.2-standalone.jar, I did not find the sikuli-script.jar for download.
Where I can find it?

Thank you,

In this jar file KeyModifier seems to be inside org.sikuli.api.robot.

import org.sikuli.api.robot.KeyModifier;

@Elaine
sikuli-api-1.0.2-standalone.jar is not API compatible to SikuliX (the IDE you are using also).

If you want to program in Java and yes SikuliX features, you have to setup according to http://sikulix.com

Can you help with this problem?
