Hello RaiMan,

I can't use pase() in that field. Otherwise, it will be very easy.

if it is Windows, then you can use the alt + n1 + n2 + n3 to enter any character with n1 - n3 the correct digits on the numpad to form the decimal code for the character according o the ascii list.

RaiMan, thanks for your quick answer. I tried the alt + n1 combination from the decimal code for @. Normally, I need to enter dec 64 to get @ symbol. When I do that I'm getting the characters for 6 and 4 indivually, but not getting the charecter for 64.

Here is the code:

Scenario 1:

type(Key.NUM6 + Key.NUM4, KeyModifier.ALT)

Output: ♠♦

Scenario 2:

type(KeyModifier.ALT, Key.NUM6 + Key.NUM4)

Output: 64

keyDown (KEY.ALT)
type (Key.NUM0)
type (Key.NUM6)
type (Key.NUM4)
keyUp (KEY.ALT)

@Manfred, thanks for the help mate, works fine. Could you explain why this is the case though? Meaning, why do we need to press a combination of keys to execute a simple "@". Thanks again!
