Question/Bug - Setting the same key twice only outputs once

[odgers-chrisf]

Issue / Question

Description

When trying to output a word like 'Hello' using the SetKeys method, only one 'l' is outputted when using kb.Launching()

Is this intended?

Replicating

• OS = W10 Pro
• Go = go version go1.15.7 windows/amd64

Code:

package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/micmonay/keybd_event"
)

func main() {
	kb, err := keybd_event.NewKeyBonding()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
	
	// Select keys to be pressed
	kb.SetKeys(keybd_event.VK_H, keybd_event.VK_E, keybd_event.VK_L, keybd_event.VK_L, keybd_event.VK_O, keybd_event.VK_L) // extra L at the end for test 

	// Press the selected keys
	err = kb.Launching() 
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

Output

Sorry if this isn't a bug - If I am using this incorrectly, please could you give an example of how to use this correctly?

Hi

Sorry for the slow response. I have created this library at the base to simulate shortcut on my keyboard. I have written this library with this idea. In your example, you send press two same on the computer

You can write your code same of this example :

package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/micmonay/keybd_event"
)

func main() {
	kb, err := keybd_event.NewKeyBonding()

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
	listKeys := []int{keybd_event.VK_H, keybd_event.VK_E, keybd_event.VK_L, keybd_event.VK_L, keybd_event.VK_O, keybd_event.VK_L}
	// Select keys to be pressed
	for _, key := range listKeys {
		kb.SetKeys(key)
		err = kb.Launching()
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
	}

}

Best regard
