Windows 10 lost keyboard interactivity

Asked by Sergey Taranenko on 2020-03-27

Today I found that I completely lost the ability to emulate the impact of the keyboard.
This is probably a security problem for Java or Windows, after the last update.
Two days ago - everything worked perfectly.
Today, not a single method of influencing the keyboard works, at the same time, the mouse cursor works well, as before.

TestProg:

wait(3) #hire i manually change focus to notepad
type("1")
keyDown("2")
wait(0.2)
keyUp("2")
paste("3")
ex = exists("1585307127221.png", 0)
hover(ex)

From another answer it looks like you are using a Russian keyboard layout.

You might try with (SikuliX 2.0.4):
Settings.AutoDetectKeyboardLayout=False

see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/sikuli/+bug/1861588

2.0.5 will have a possible fix, that again allows to use AutoDetectKeyboardLayout=True

The background:
in SikuliX we now have a feature activated, that uses type() with respect to the current selected keyboard layout (Windows only).
This eliminates the restriction to US-engl layout and also allows UTF-8 characters to be typed.

Thanks!
Settings.AutoDetectKeyboardLayout=False
this option completely returned the keyboard to work, in all versions 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4
