Hello, In my test script, I open the application MobaXterm then I need to enter a string that contains the at character (@).I recorded these actions but when I played it again the @ is not entered.In the support I found these two links: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/test-objects/members/common-for-sys-desktop-pda/keys-method-sys-desktop-object.htmlhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes?redirectedfrom=MSDN But they didn't solved my problem. Any other suggestion? Consider I use the Italian keyboard and normally to enter the at character I need to press the "Alt Gr" key plus "ò" key. Thanks in advance, Andrea

I use German keyboard, for me symbol @ = "ALT GR" + "Q".Method "Keys" prints "@" for me without additional brackets and other characters.Check whether you use different languages during testing (keyboard and system, as well as application language). Maybe that's the problem.

Enter at character (@) using Keys method

Hello,

In my test script, I open the application MobaXterm then I need to enter a string that contains the at character (@).

I recorded these actions but when I played it again the @ is not entered.

Any other suggestion? Consider I use the Italian keyboard and normally to enter the at character I need to press the "Alt Gr" key plus "ò" key.

Thanks in advance,

  In the following the code lines
  
  let applications = Sys.Process("explorer").Window("Shell_TrayWnd").Window("ReBarWindow32").Window("MSTaskSwWClass", "Running applications");
  applications.Window("MSTaskListWClass", "Running applications").Click();
  
  let formXterm = Sys.Process("MobaXterm").VCLObject("FormXterm");
  let panSessions = formXterm.VCLObject("PanGauche").VCLObject("sPanel13").VCLObject("PCGauche").VCLObject("sTabSessions").VCLObject("PanSessions");
  panSessions.VCLObject("TreeSessions").DblClickItem("|User sessions|192.168.10.10 (admin)");
  Delay(10000)
  
  formXterm.VCLObject("sPanel1").Window("TListBox").Keys("ssh admin[@@]192.168.10.11[Enter]");
  
  The problem is the last line. I tried the single @ and double @ (without [ ] ) but they don't work.

    Andrea_Bonacchi ,
    
    This probably isn't very helpful, but we use Moba Personal Edition V12.4 Build 4248 and the following does work for us
    
    Aliases.MobaXterm.FormXterm.sPanel1.Window("TListBox").Keys("ssh admin@xxx.xxx.xx.xx[Enter]")
    
    FWIW, we recorded the keyword test and then converted it to a script. That probably doesn't matter but I thought I'd mention it.
    
    Also, we have added Moba as a TestComplete TestedApp.
    
    Good Luck,
    
    Larry
