Lowercase, should be uppercase

[Billmans]

I have a strange problem.

I am using the keyboard command to target commands into a SSH terminal (putty) session on my linux box. I send the command

amixer -c0 set Master,0 1+ <enter>

And this works fine, however - Every once in a while, especially during quick repeats it sends the command with a lower case "m" and linux does not like this.

amixer -c0 set master,0 1+ <enter>

This is actaully working really well, other than this, any ideas why, or a better solution how to send the command

Try using foreground send or the older keyboard routines in the legacy folder.

Does this mean there are bugs with the current keyboard stuff?

Do you know of any other way to communicate commands to linux?

Thanks again

Bill

I have tried the stuff you suggested.

I have tried targeting notpad with the text and I get all sorts of mixed case. Can somebody else try this to help confirm if there is a bug? All I am doing is a simple Keyboard Command, and I drag the target to the notepad window.

Thanks
Bill

The reason why this sometimes fails is because we are trying to trick windows into doing this. This is not something actually supported by MS, so sadly sometimes things don't quite go well enough. In the actions->Legacy actions there are some other keyboard commands that might work. Also try to check 'alt proc' in that legacy action.

Another idea might be to make a bash file on linux that shortens that whole thing into all lowercase.

Sending commands to linux would be tricky as the comserver library is using some windows TCP/IP routines so porting them over to linux will take a little time. Time that I don't have at the moment.

I have done some testing with another PC and it seems to be working, but I can not get it too work on the pc I want it too. I have tried to disable all Girder pluggins, killed all windows processes to see if I could see what the problem is and no good.

I tried the script idea, but it still fails for the same problem. Some times I get caps etc, when it should be lowercase. It is not reliable.

I will try to work it with another pc for now.

Thanks

Sorry sometimes we just run into limitation of the OS.
