Re: [swtbot-dev] What keyboard strategy do you use in Wayland?

[Vaclav Kadlcik <vkadlcik@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Patrick

Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid my problems aren't
locale- nor focus-related, unfortunately.

In X11, AWTKeyboardStrategy works great for me. I've never
needed to even consider other strategy there. Wayland is
not so cozy:
 1. AWTKeyboardStrategy doesn't pass its initialization
 2. SWTKeyboardStrategy doesn't allow me to type lowercase
    letters
 3. MockKeyboardStrategy doesn't want to press special keys

2 and 3 aren't Wayland specific, I can see the same in X11
(unless I'm holding them wrong :-)

For all the three problems I created bug reports ([1], [2],
[3]). I guess it would be better to discuss the specifics
there.

I'd be happy to have at least one of the strategies fixed
so I can use it for testing in Wayland. My wild guess is
that SWTKeyboardStrategy might be easiest. Any thoughts?

Thanks
Václav
