I am working on a script testing a plugin to MS Visual Studio.  So far, using "type()" to send hotkeys has worked just fine (e.g. type( "B", KEY_ALT + KEY_SHIFT)).

So I want to send the hotkeys for switching focus to the Locals view in Visual Studio:

switchApp("My Project (Debugging) - Microsoft Visual Studio")
type( "4", KEY_ALT)

I've also tried it as:
type(4, KEY_ALT)
type(Key.4, KEY_ALT)

But Sikuli doesn't like any of them:

[log] App.focus DataTypesVS10 (Debugging) - Microsoft Visual Studio(0) #0 
[error] Stopped [error] An error occurs at line 43 [error] Error message: 
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Users\bgriffin.AMD\Documents\VisualStudioLib.sikuli\VisualStudioLib.py", line 116, in SetFocusLocals
  type( Key.4, KEY_ALT )
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sikuli X\sikuli-script.jar\Lib\sikuli\Region.py", line 59, in find
  Line 77, in file C:\Users\bgriffin.AMD\AppData\Local\Temp\sikuli-tmp4884278211712740274.py

Manually, "ALT+4" works fine.  Not the Numpad "4", but the keypad "4".

In the Sikuli IDE, "type("4", KEY_ALT)" behaves odd; I expected KEY_ALT to display in brown, just like all the other KEY_* keywords, but it displays in black.  The other two ways I tried (4, Key.4) cause KEY_ALT to display in brown, but don't work.

Looking at the documentation, it appears the using type("4", KEY_ALT) should work.

What should I be doing here?
