[Bug 1696381] Re: type("i", KeyModifier.CTRL + KeyModifier.SHIFT) does not work on Mac

 

Hi RaiMan,

Thank you very much for the quick reply!
I love your SikuliX tool :)

Coming to the problem, I tested the same on Safari too. Yes, on Safari
it works.

But for that particular application it does not work.
The application responds when I press i + Ctrl + Shift manually.

Actually, now it looks something related to keyboard focus on Mac.
When I use switchApp() to switch focus to that app, the function fails with -1 error.
I observed that SikuliX IDE also does not take keys (I cannot type) after it comes in front again after executing a script.
To start typing again in the IDE, I need to switch to some other app and then come back to the IDE.

Title:
  type("i", KeyModifier.CTRL + KeyModifier.SHIFT) does not work on Mac

Status in Sikuli:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  I have an application which handles "Control + Shift + i" keys combination.
  The application is NodeJS based and it is supported on Ubuntu, Windows and Mac.

  When I execute type("i", KeyModifier.SHIFT + KeyModifier.CTRL) on
  windows, it works well. But on Mac, it does not work.

  Before executing this line, I activate the window of my app by clicking it. 
  Also, I am able to use the keys manually in the aplication but not through sikulix script.

  My guess is that the issue is related to "Control" key handling on Mac.
  I verified that the type() function works with the SHIFT and Command key modifiers on Mac.

  
  SikuliX version: 1.1.1
  MacOS: OS X EI Caption 10.11.6 (MacBook Pro)
