What does ~ mean in pywinauto?

I am trying to use a pywinauto script, and it contains the character '~', such as

app.ModemSimulator.TypeKeys("%fc{ESC}")
app.ModemSimulator.TypeKeys("%fo~")

Could I get an explanation for what the ~ character means?

It may just mean ~, or possibly the syntax for the next key to press.

Solution

  • The tilde (~) is simply an alias for Enter in TypeKeys(). It's just easier than typing {ENTER}.
