CTRL+mouseClick [message #519813]

I have a TreeViewer in which I need to select multiple nodes with
different parent nodes. SWTBotTree and SWTTreeBotTreeItem#select
(String... items) seems to work only if the items are siblings - child
nodes of the root in the former case and of the treeItem in the latter.
Nice but not what I need. An alternative would seem to be multiple
#select calls with the CTRL key pressed. Both bots inherit a set of
#pressShortcut methods but they seem to work only if modifier keys are
followed by 'natural' keys... but not by a mouse click.

Has anyone been able to do such a selection? Or perhaps have some ideas
how I might make one?

Any help greatly appreciated.

There doesn't seem to be any support right now to do it. The solution
would probably look like this:
Keyboard keyboard = KeyboardFactory.getDefaultKeyboard(null, null);
keyboard.pressKeys(Keystrokes.CTRL);
SWTBotTreeItem item = ...
item.click();

Although I'm not 100% sure. But, this is not doable right now because
Keyboard#pressKeys is private. There is currently no way to tell SWTBot
to press down a key and keep it pressed while doing something else. This
is one thing that could probably be enabled if necessary.

Another way which would probably be better is to enable
SWTBotTree#select to look down a certain depth to select items,
something like:

public SWTBotTree select(final int depth, final String... items) {

and instead of looking only for roots of the tree we could search
recursively until we hit the depth. Please file a bug and I'll take a
look at this.

Hi all,

I am also interested in keeping CTRL key pressed while cliking. Craig did you open the bug? Does anyone know if it has been fixed?

Best regards

Could you open a bug and I'll see how modifier keys(CTRL/ALT/SHIFT) with
mouse click can be addressed.
