[Bug 1824694] Re: [1.1.4] Numpad keys not working together with keyDown(Key.ALT) --- workaround: use type(u"ö") instead

 

The type on Windows is completely revised, so it now accepts any unicode
sequence.

usage:
type(u"äöüß@§")

will type the given characters as expected.

It is not yet documented, since it is only available for Windows and not
for Mac.

So your workaround should no longer be needed, but should still be
useable in case.

** Summary changed:

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install SikuliX 1.1.4
  2. Try the following lines to type the "ü" character :
      keyDown(Key.ALT)
      type(Key.NUM1)
      type(Key.NUM2)
      type(Key.NUM9)
      keyUp(Key.ALT)
  code compiles perfectly well but you wont see the "ü" as desired. This code worked perfectly fine with older versions....The NUM keys work perfectly fine if used individually like type(Key.NUM1), but not together with the keyDown function
  
  3. Tested with Windows 10 machine using Sikul1X1.1.4
