Using keyDown and keyUp for regular keys?

Asked by Murmandamus

Hi,

How can I use Region.keyDown() and Region.keyUp() for all the regular keys on my keyboard, and not just the special keys in the Key class? When I do Region.keyDown("x") for example, I get this error:

[error] TypeError ( keyDown(): 1st arg can't be coerced to String, int )

I can't always use Region.type() because I need to be able to control the timing and duration of individual key presses.

Many thanks,

Sorry, but with the current implementation I do not have a solution for you.

I have it on the list as an enhancement for 2.0.6 (no commitment on release date currently :-(

If you are willing to do some Java exercises: Java AWT Robot :-)

... and the SikuliX class KeyboardLayout.

Can you help with this problem?
