Trying to type numbers using Sendkeys and Xtype but I’m getting this error. This happens for all numbers [0-9] and also for ${KEY_NumX}.
Hi, I confirmed this issue and logged an error - thanks for reporting it!
Workaround: Note that you need the ${KEY_1} notation for standard keys only if you want to combine them with the modifier keys ${KEY_CTRL}, ${KEY_ALT} and ${KEY_SHIFT}, or with special keys like ${KEY_TAB}. “Combine” in this context means: Press 2 or more keys at the same time, like ${KEY_CTRL+KEY_V}.
If you only need to send text, you can just use XType | 1,2,3,...,9 hello world without any special notation for the keys. This even works with non-keyboard characters like “€” or “你好” - hello in Chinese. XType still simulates native keypress events.
With today’s update, this issue is fixed 
Hi,
I just discovered Kantu today, and am blown away by it! The perfect tool for desktop automation/testing I was searching for.
The issue is that I’m using 4.0.1, and trying to use XType | 1 to type numbers in an appetize.io frame (to auto test an Android app embedded in an iframe), and the numbers typing doesn’t work.
I tried:
Command: XType
Target: ${KEY_1} → doesn’t work (the field in my android app doesn’t get filled with 1)
Command: XType
Target: 1 → doesn’t work (the field in my android app doesn’t get with 1 either)
Is it a regression, since you mention in your Dec’18 message that the issue was fixed?
Thanks for your help
Note that I’m using a workaround for the moment: use XClick to locate the numbers on the “Android” keyboard in the appetize.io frame to press on the numbers
I confirmed that KEY_1 and the other numeric keys do not work yet correctly. We will finally fix this with the next update. Thanks for reporting this.
Btw, appetize.io is very useful
This issue is fixed with V4.1.6.
Great, thanks, it works now!
