I’m in the process of creating an attended robot that is triggered either by clicking a button or the numeric Enter key.
However in the Hotkey Trigger activity I cannot seem to find an option for selecting the numeric Enter key. In the Send Hotkey activity it is listed as numEnter - so I have tried that in the Hotkey Trigger activity as well. But that does not seem to do anything.
Is the numeric Enter left out by choice or? I can see that num0, num1, num2, etc exists so why not the numEnter?
@monsieurrahul it does work indeed. However the application I’m automating against distinguished between normal Enter and NumEnter - to add an order line NumEnter is required. It also works with the Send Hotkey activity where both enter types can be used - but the robot should only be triggered when NumEnter is pressed.
Seems that numEnter is implemented in 2020.4 - just downloaded the beta version. However it does not seem to be working as nothing happens when using the numEnter as a trigger. Tried with both NumLock enabled and disabled.
Im sorry. Seems that I wrongly understand. You wrote that:
Then:
So what I proposed is that maybe your send hotkey activity is still not working properly in your application because it reads numEnter different way. So you could try to set this options I showed on screenshot to test if those option will work in your application you’re trying to automate.
I tried doing the automation in Notepad as well with the same result. I then changed the trigger key to normal Enter and then it works. But when changing the key back to numEnter nothing happens - regardless of NumLock being turned on or off.
Hi @jacchr,
I tested it and seems that you’re right. It’s probably a bug. I submitted this case to our tracker, hopefully it will be fixed soon. Thank you.
