SWTKeyOperation needsShift for ASCII 60 wrong about windowtester HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi Falk,
Sounds like an easy fix. (I did not have a closer look yet.)

Could you create a patch and a little test for this issue?

Regards,

Fred

So i have created a eclipse plugin test , it will open the preferences and just 
enter "<>" in the search field to test if WindowTester enters it correctly.

And a patch is attached :)

Hi Falk,

After looking at this issue more closely, I think this problem only occurs, 
when the correct locale is not set.
Executing the following code in your setup() method should fix it:

Locale.setDefault(new Locale("de", "DE"));
WT.setLocaleToCurrent();


There is also an existing test case here:
/com.windowtester_test/src/com/windowtester/test/runtime/KeyMapTextEntryTest.jav
a
(Not sure why most of the code is commented out, though.)

The current solution of having to set the locale manually is far from perfect 
and not intuitive. The whole "key entering"-approach seems a bit fragile 
anyway. I hope this can be fixed in the future.

Hi Fred,

Yes you are right the whole "key entering"-thing have to be fixed some day, i 
use only the standard us layout to get it working, i tried as you suggest to 
set it to "de" and however WT is not able to enter any text in my test case .. 

So maybe let this issue as reminder open and change the title ?
I will have a deeper look at it next days.

Hi Falk,

Which OS do you use?
Setting the locale should definitely work on Windows. I know there are issues 
with
Linux, as it seems to need it's own special keymap.

We are using Linux also for the automatically test builds on jenkins.

So we have to deal with that workaround i see.
