Currently the
KeySequenceaccepts special keys such as "\b", "\t" for Qt. Under the hood, Qt converts these characters to Qt Key so the support is relatively painless. Similar support for wx.TextCtrl requires a bit more custom work. (See thread starting from #1171 (comment)).On the other hand, wx.TextCtrl supports some other unicode code points that QTest does not support out-of-the-box (e.g.
'\x1f'==chr(31)).For testing textboxes, it is probably not necessary to support all possible keys. It may be easier to start with a more limited support and expand it when needs arise.
This PR
- KeySequence("\b") would not be supported for textboxes. KeyClick("Backspace") should be used instead.
