Not supported character in keyDown()

Asked by Mychajlo Chodorev

I'm writing a script to automatize saving of the web page. So I try to send Ctrl+s with keyDown(). It seemed to work but now I'm getting an error:

> [error] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException ( java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Key: Not supported character: s )
> [error] --- Traceback --- error source first
> line: module ( function ) statement
> 17: main ( <module> ) keyDown(Key.CTRL + "s")
> [error] --- Traceback --- end --------------

I tried to run it both in IDE and command line with same result.

Please try with
type("s", Key.CTRL)

Same error was for type('s', Key.CTRL). But after several restarts the problem has gone. Weird...

I have another case, where the same error was shown for a type with Key.Win.

Do you have a non-US keyboard layout?

If yes, put as second or higher entry in the layout list EN (English US) (... but do not select it ;-)

Indeed I had active non-latin keyboard layout. When latin but non-English layout is active everything is ok. So only non-latin one causes problem.
Thank you
