Asked by weychoi

First of all, congratulations!! The project is awesome in so many ways!!

but i have one problem when i'm testing my app.

How can i send commands like "ENTER" "F1" "F2" "DELETE" and so on? I've tried a lot of things but i can't.

Can you help me please?

Thank you,

you can emulate pressing "enter" using command type("\n")

Thank you!

Some ideas for "Delete" and "F*" ?

KEY_F1, KEY_F2, KEY_BACKSPACE, KEY_DELETE, KEY_END, etc and so forth sound like great additions.

btw: I Have one more question, when i do something like

type("/Something")

I get an error for the "/"
anyone know what's the correct sintax for that?

Thanks

Special keys are supported in 0.9.7.
For example, you can say type(Key.ESC + ":q!" + Key.ENTER) to quit vim.
See class Key in the Jython API reference for a complete list of special keys.

I was using Sikuli-IDE-win-20100128.exe (Self-extracting installer). I got the error.

I downloaded Sikuli-IDE-win-20100128.zip, and try again. It works!

I got an error when i use the example below
NameError: Key

openApp("notepad.exe")
type("http://sikuli.org" + Key.ENTER)

I wrote "key" with the lowercase, when I write "Key.ENTER" (the "K" is uppercase), I don't have any problems.
