Question #194185 on Sikuli changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/194185

Summary changed to:
shortcut with CTRL key not accepted on Win7 --- use lowercase letters

Description changed to:
type("A", KeyModifier.CTRL)

is sent as SHIFT-CTRL-a

CTRL-a has to be

type("a", KeyModifier.CTRL)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit and operating (as an example) in the Find field in the Find and Replace dialogue of MS Word 2007.  I have a command to use the CTRL key:
 type("A", KeyModifier.CTRL) 
(and tried some variations with putting Key.CTRL keyDown before and keyUp after) 
but instead of "select all" which is what happens when I do the same step on my keyboard, it sets "Format: All Caps."
I've tried CTRL, ALT, WIN, and FN keys and haven't figured out what key Sikuli is actually pressing to get that effect, but whichever modifier it is pressing, it's not CTRL.

I've got a workaround with a different key sequence in my script, but am
reporting this bug so that it may be fixed in future versions.

I'm running the latest Sikuli X-1.0rc3 (r905).

Awesome project, all!
