Hello,
I’m using the RemoteControlMBS and having these 3 questions:
1: what’s the difference between PressShiftKey vs the three platform-specific variants (MacPressShiftKey, WinPressShiftKey and LinuxPressShiftKey)? Does PressShiftKey just replace all three (since e.g. WinPressShiftKey wouldn’t do anything on Mac, anyway)?
(same question applies for other similar keys)
2: say I have a character as input (e.g. “@”). I need to figure out which keys would produce this character, like alt+g on my Swiss-french Mac OS layout. For Windows, this looks like a good choice: WinVirtualKeyForASCII, although I haven’t tried yet.
For Mac, the closest function I found is this one: MacTextForKeyCode. But I have to loop through all keys (0 to 127) with all combination of dead keys until I find the correct one (would be time consuming for a string, for example). Isn’t there a direct way?
And, for Linux, I have no great idea. I found LinuxKeyNameToKeySymbol, but I can’t figure out whether the alt/control/shift keys should be pressed or not given the result of the call. I am missing something?
And what if the current keyboard layout just can’t produce the character I have as input?
3: when using MacMousePositionX (and similar functions about the location of the mouse), I’m getting an exception. Its message tells me “Not yet implemented”. That’s not a big problem, as I can use System.MouseX, but I don’t remember having seen this before. Has this been rewritten?
I recognise it makes a lot of questions, and I’m sorry about that, but I feel I’ve come across limitations that I’d not have expected.
Thanks in advance.
