Pywinauto Sendkeys function


I seem to recall that using SendKeys, you once could use the construct +(abc) to send ABC. However, recently, that sends Abc. Am I missing something?

By the bye, the old documentation (before ReadTheDocs) was better and more complete. Do you have a link to it?


Solution

  • I've just checked pywinauto==0.6.5 (newest) and pywinauto==0.5.4 (early 2016). There is no difference in SendKeys behavior: always typing Abc. I'm pretty sure old 0.4.0 works the same way.

    The docs can be easily compared by Contents:

    But if you want applying modifiers to the group of keys, this can be filed as an issue on GitHub. This request makes sense definitely.
