Cntrl+S

Asked by lemonia

I want to know how to send a command to a browser or text editor to save a page. I tried these options, but it doesn't work:
hover(Location(984, 469))
#type("s", KEY_CTRL)
type("s", Key.CTRL)
wait(7)

SikuliX 2.0.5, Jython 2.7.1.

This only works in a text editor, not in a browser. Here the letter S is uppercase.
hover(Location(984, 469))
type("S", KEY_CTRL)
#type("S", Key.CTRL)
wait(7)

Unfortunately, next time it didn’t work in the text editor either.

To use type(), the target window must have focus, which is not the case at script start.

You might use click() to activate the target window.
You seem to have tried with hover(), which does not do the job (no action, only mouse move)

To handle apps, you might use the app features:

Generally it is worth to read across the docs, to get a feeling about the features available.

One more thing: type("S", Key.CTRL) should be type("s", Key.CTRL): for those combinations use lowercase, since uppercase adds a Key.SHIFT, which might not be correct.
Look: https://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.io/en/latest/keys.html#key-constants
