## Development
|
46
|
+
|
47
|
+
Development of this library happens as part of AXElements, but tests
|
48
|
+
and the API for this component should remain separate enough so that
|
49
|
+
it can be released as part of the AXTyper gem.
|
50
|
+
|
51
|
+
### Testing
|
52
|
+
|
53
|
+
Running tests for this subset of AXElements is best done by using the
|
54
|
+
`test:string` rake task, and also run `test:cruby` to make sure that
|
55
|
+
some MacRuby specific code didn't sneak into the keyboarding
|
56
|
+
component.
|
37
57
|
|

58
|
```shell
|

### TODO
|
43
64
|
|
44
65
|
The API for posting events is ad-hoc for the sake of demonstration;
|
45
66
|
AXElements exposes this functionality via `Kernel#type`. The standalone
|
46
67
|
API provided here could be improved.

# Keyboard Events
|
2
|
-
|
3
|
-
Keyboard events are a system provided by Apple that allows you to
|
4
|
-
simulate keyboard input. The API for this in the `ApplicationServices`
|
5
|
-
framework, but there is an analogue in the `Acessibility` APIs which
|
6
|
-
has the additional option of directing the input to a specific application.
|
7
|
-
|
8
|
-
Using accessibility actions and setting attributes you can already
|
9
|
-
perform most of the interactions that would be possible with the
|
10
|
-
keyboard simulation. However, there are some things that you will need
|
11
|
-
to, or it will just make more sense to, simulate keyboard input. For
|
12
|
-
example, to make use of hot keys you would have to add extra actions
|
13
|
-
or attributes to a control in the application; that would be more
|
14
|
-
work, possibly prone to error, than simply simulating the hot key from
|
15
|
-
outside the application. In other situations you may specifically want
|
16
|
-
to test out keyboard navigation and so actions would not be a good
|
17
|
-
substitute. It may be that the APIs that AXElements provides for
|
18
|
-
typing just make more sense when writing tests or scripts.
|
19
|
-
|
20
|
-
## Typing with the DSL
|
21
|
-
|
22
|
-
The {Accessibility::DSL} mix-in exposes keyboard events through the
|
23
|
-
`type` method. A simple example would look like this:
|
24
|
-
|
25
|
-
type "Hello, #{ENV['USER']}! How are you today?\n"
|
26
|
-
|
27
|
-
And watch your computer come to life! The `type` command takes an
|
28
|
-
additional optional parameter that we'll get to later. The first
|
29
|
-
parameter is just a string that you want AXElements to type out. How
|
30
|
-
to format the string should be obvious for the most part, but some
|
31
|
-
things like the command key and arrows might not be so obvious.
|
32
|
-
|
33
|
-
## Formatting Strings
|
34
|
-
|
35
|
-
Letters and numbers should be written just as you would for any other
|
36
|
-
string. Any of the standard symbols can also be plainly added to a
|
37
|
-
string that you want to have typed. Here are some examples:
|
38
|
-
|
39
|
-
type "UPPER CASE LETTERS"
|
40
|
-
type "lower case letters"
|
41
|
-
type "1337 message @/\/|) 57|_||=|="
|
42
|
-
type "A proper sentence can be typed out (all at once)."
|
43
|
-
|
44
|
-
### Regular Escape Sequences
|
45
|
-
|
46
|
-
Things like newlines and tabs should be formatted just like they would
|
47
|
-
in a regular string. That is, normal string escape sequences should
|
48
|
-
"just work" with AXElements. Here are some more examples:
|
49
|
-
|
50
|
-
type "Have a bad \b\b\b\b\b good day!"
|
51
|
-
type "First line.\nSecond line."
|
52
|
-
type "I \t like \t to \t use \t tabs \t a \t lot."
|
53
|
-
type "Explicit\sSpaces."
|
54
|
-
|
55
|
-
### Custom Escape Sequences
|
56
|
-
|
57
|
-
Unfortunately, there is no built in escape sequence for deleting to
|
58
|
-
the right or pressing command keys like `F1`. AXElements defines some
|
59
|
-
extra escape sequences in order to easily represent the remaining
|
60
|
-
keys.
|
61
|
-
|
62
|
-
These custom escape sequences __shoud start with two `\` characters__,
|
63
|
-
as in this example:
|
64
|
-
|
65
|
-
type "\\F1"
|
66
|
-
|
67
|
-
A custom escape sequence __should terminate with a space or the end of
|
68
|
-
the string__, as in this example:
|
69
|
-
|
70
|
-
type "\\PAGEDOWN notice the space afterwards\\PAGEUP but not before"
|
71
|
-
|
72
|
-
The full list of supported custom escape sequences is listed in
|
73
|
-
{Accessibility::StringParser::CUSTOM}. Some escapes have an alias,
|
74
|
-
such as the right arrow key which can be escaped as `"\\RIGHT"` or as
|
75
|
-
`"\\->"`.
|
76
|
-
|
77
|
-
### Hot Keys
|
78
|
-
|
79
|
-
To support pressing multiple keys at the same time (i.e. hot keys), you
|
80
|
-
must start with the custom escape sequence for the combination and
|
81
|
-
instead of ending with a space you should put a `+` character to chain
|
82
|
-
the next key. The entire sequence should be ended with a space or
|
83
|
-
nil. Some common examples are opening a file or quitting an
|
84
|
-
application:
|
85
|
-
|
86
|
-
type "\\COMMAND+o"
|
87
|
-
type "\\CONTROL+a Typing at the start of the line"
|
88
|
-
type "\\COMMAND+\\SHIFT+s"
|
89
|
-
|
90
|
-
You might also note that `CMD+SHIFT+s` could also be:
|
91
|
-
|
92
|
-
type "\\COMMAND+S"
|
93
|
-
|
94
|
-
Since a capital `S` will cause the shift key to be held down.
|
95
|
-
|
96
|
-
One caveat with hot keys is that you cannot use `"\\COMMAND+ "` to
|
97
|
-
represent command and space combination, you will need to use
|
98
|
-
`"\\COMMAND+\s"` instead.
|
99
|
-
|
100
|
-
## Protips
|
101
|
-
|
102
|
-
In order make sure that certain sequences of characters are properly
|
103
|
-
escaped, it is recommended to simply always use double quoted
|
104
|
-
strings.
|
105
|

|
