Some characters removed
Opened this issue · 5 comments
HI,
it is great tool. I am using it to paste some coding in citrix remote connection, where copy pate is blocked.
Unfortunately some characters used in my code are removed.
They are "@" and "#" as I found until now. Is it possible to change the code to paste also these characters ?
Thank you
I don't use Citrix, but these characters paste just fine when I try it in other apps, including to VMware guest machines. I'm not sure what I can do to produce the problem. Did you try switching key typing method between sendkeys and autoit?
Yes, I did try both methods. I have no other choice. I have no other choice. I am only user which have to use it. The Citrix connection is running in web browser as Citrix. lite. Other characters like %, ', " etc. are working fine. You are right, in case I am pasting to local text editor, it is working fine and all characters are there. May be some timing issue with the remote connection and key press simulation. Now I have some idea. As I am using swiss keyboard layout, these not working characters are with AltGr+some other key. This can be issue also with other layouts, where special characters are accessible with AltGr modifier. Working characters as % are only with Shift key.
Now I changed keyboard layout ti English and it is working. All characters are there. So definitely it is related to the AltGr key necessity for some characters.
Do you plan to solve that issue with different keyboard ?
I'm not sure how that issue could be addressed. The "Send keys" functions don't have a lot of options and I suspect that is where the limitation is.
For example Microsoft says:
If your application is intended for international use with a variety of keyboards, the use of Send could yield unpredictable results and should be avoided.
Which basically equals "we know this won't work, and we don't care" :(
