1. Record a test on a field that contains several keystrokes other than alphanumeric keys, e.g. Ctrl and Shift combinations
2. Say the value of the operation is '[End]$$^a^c[Esc]'
3. Now I would like to add ![Home] to the end of it.
4. I would like to go to the end of value field and press the actual keystroke combinations SHIFT+HOME, and rely on TestComplete to supply the coded form. So, TestComplete would add ![Home] where I'm focused in the value field and I don't have to remember that bang (explanation point) means Shift.
5. Not sure how you would hi-jack windows to do this. A modal window that can intercept the keystrokes from windows? Seems like the recording mode would already know how to do it.
Advantage is that I would not have to re-record and get it wrong several times, and I would not have to memorize or lookup seldomly used keystrokes for the TestComplete coded form.
