Description

« Hide

I took a regular string and used toCharArray to get single characters and then casted these to integers.
I couldn't figure out yet how to type : and \ so I removed all characters other than regular english letters. The numbers passed to keyPressNative were following: 67,68,79,99,117,109

The result: "CDO" was typed into file input and then "3" instead of "c". After that focus goes to address bar and "-" gets typed in.

Also, shouldn't 67 be typed as capital letter?

Using Estonian keyboard here.

Instead of a textual description the relevant test steps would have been more beneficial.
Here is how the key*Native() method have to be used:

selenium.keyDownNative("16"); // Press and do not relase the shift key, so that
selenium.keyPressNative("67"); // this and
selenium.keyPressNative("68"); // this and
selenium.keyPressNative("79"); // this character will be capitals
selenium.keyUpNative("16"); // Release the shift key, as we don't need it for the
selenium.keyPressNative("67");
selenium.keyPressNative("85");
selenium.keyPressNative("77");

"Virtual key codes are used to report which keyboard key has been pressed, rather than a character generated by the combination of one or more keystrokes (such as "A", which comes from shift and "a"). "
