[🐛 Bug]: Send Keys doesn't works based on keyboard layout

[aliahmadbutt4]

What happened?

I am trying to input text("C:\Users\test\project\memxyz-test") using German keyboard layout inside a text field with 'Input Text' keyword. When I execute the testcase and it input the following text ("C:#Users#test#project#memxzyßtest") I have done some search and found out this issue
Can you have a look and provide a solution ?

Relevant log output

None

Operating System

Windows 10

RobotFramework-ApplicationLibrary version (tag)

1.1.2

@aliahmadbutt4 Not sure when I will be able to properly look into this but do you mind running pip freeze and give me the output for that?

Reason I ask is A. the version of ApplicationLibrary listed above doesn't exist and B. the issue you listed has long since been removed from selenium so I don't think that should be an issue (provided your selenium is latest selenium 3).

What I have read and understood it won't work for the current selenium version of the ApplicationLibrary. Please correct if I am wrong.

Is this maybe cause by WinAppDriver? I remember that WinAppDriver has problems with non-US keyboard layouts. See for example here https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/issues/507
