How to press shortcuts containing numpad keys? [message #1815683] Tue, 08 October 2019 11:26 Go to next message

I want to test the shortcut Ctrl+Numpad_Subtract in my editor. I tried

SWTBotEditor editor = bot.editorByTitle("my.editor");
SWTBotTree tree = editor.bot().tree(0);
tree.pressShortcut(Keystrokes.CTRL, KeyStroke.getInstance("NUMPAD_SUBTRACT"));

This doesn't work. Other shortcuts without numpad keys work fine with the code above, e.g. Ctrl+M. Is this a bug or is there any trick to test shortcuts containing numpad keys?

Hi Matthias,

What you're doing seems correct, also equivalent to:

tree.pressShortcut(Keystrokes.CTRL, KeyStroke.getInstance(0, SWT.KEYPAD_SUBTRACT));

However, it does not work because AWTKeyboardStrategy in SWTBot is missing the natural key mapping for this key. (I assume you are using AWT keyboard)

It could be added (and, at the same time, Keystrokes.KEYPAD_SUBTRACT so you can use it directly). We should add all the other keypad keystrokes too...

Can you submit a patch, or else write a bug report?

Thanks,
Patrick

Thanks for your hint, adding the missing mappings was straightforward. I am using SWT keyboard, which has the same bug.

I currently can't commit the fix because of our company policy. This policy will change hopefully before Christmas, then I will commit the fix.
