Changing the lines
mappings.add(mapping('-', VK_SLASH, NO_MASK));
mappings.add(mapping('_', VK_SLASH, SHIFT_MASK));
to :
mappings.add(mapping('-', 45, NO_MASK));
mappings.add(mapping('_', 45, SHIFT_MASK));

in the class KeyStrokeMappingProvider_de
would resolve the Problem.

ok, I find out that 45 is the Value of VK_MINUS and that for most of the keys there is no mapping needed.

The following test succeeds:

KeyStrokeMap.clearKeyStrokes();
String str = "!\"§$%&/()=?`´ß0987654321²{[]}\\@qwertzuiopüas" + 
    "dfghjklöäyxcvbnm,.-µ;:_MNBVCXYASDFGHJKLÖÄÜPOIUZTREWQ+*~'#_-:.;,><|";
JTextComponentFixture txt = textBox("myTextBox");
robot.enterText(str);
txt.requireText(str);

(str consists all german-keyboard-character)

For the line

robot.enterText("\r");

the mapping

mappings.add(mapping('\r', VK_ENTER, NO_MASK));     

is necessary.

With folowing modifications

KeyStrokeMap.clearKeyStrokes();
KeyStrokeMap.addKeyStrokesFrom(new KeyStrokeMappingProviderDE());
String str = "!\"§$%&/()=?`´ß0987654321²{[]}\\@qwertzuiopüas" + 
    "dfghjklöäyxcvbnm,.-µ;:_MNBVCXYASDFGHJKLÖÄÜPOIUZTREWQ+*~'#_-:.;,><|";
JTextComponentFixture txt = textBox("myTextBox");
robot.enterText(str);
txt.requireText(str);

(KeyStrokeMappingProviderDE is a copy of the latest version of KeyStrokeMappingProvider_de)

the test fails with IllegalArgumentException: Invalid key code '61' after typing the '?'.

Hi Ludwig,

Many thanks for taking the time to look into this issue in detail!

A couple of days ago I fixed FEST-175, which relates to German keyboard mappings. The latest version is the one: http://fisheye.codehaus.org/browse/fest/fest-swing/src/main/java/org/fest/swing/keystroke/KeyStrokeMappingProvider_de.java?r=HEAD

Can you please give it a try?

Many thanks in advance,
-Alex

Hi Alex,
I used that version for the test (I copied the content of KeyStrokeMappingProvider_de in the class KeyStrokeMappingProviderDE).

Hi Ludwig,

I'm back to trying to fix this bug. I uploaded a new swing-fest jar at our Maven repo: http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/org/easytesting . The direct link to the jar is http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/org/easytesting/fest-swing/1.2b1-SNAPSHOT/fest-swing-1.2b1-20100315.133020-2.jar

Please give it a try whenever you have a chance and let me know if this bug is fixed

Thanks!
-Alex

Hi Alex,

for windows it is necessary to add a separate mapping for german

KeyStrokeMappingProvider_win_de

where you must remove all mappings with ALT_GRAPH_MASK

public class KeyStrokeMappingProvider_win_de extends KeyStrokeMappingProvider_de {

@OverRide
public Collection<KeyStrokeMapping> keyStrokeMappings() {
Collection<KeyStrokeMapping> mappings = super.keyStrokeMappings();
//remove problematic keys here
mappings.remove(mapping('
', VK_SLASH, ALT_GRAPH_MASK));
mappings.remove(mapping('@', VK_Q, ALT_GRAPH_MASK));
mappings.remove(mapping('Ä', VK_E, ALT_GRAPH_MASK));
mappings.remove(mapping('~', VK_CLOSE_BRACKET, ALT_GRAPH_MASK));
mappings.remove(mapping('|', VK_BACK_SLASH, ALT_GRAPH_MASK));
mappings.remove(mapping(']', VK_9, ALT_GRAPH_MASK));
mappings.remove(mapping('[', VK_8, ALT_GRAPH_MASK));
mappings.remove(mapping('

{', VK_7, ALT_GRAPH_MASK));
mappings.remove(mapping('≥', VK_0, ALT_GRAPH_MASK));
mappings.remove(mapping('≤', VK_2, ALT_GRAPH_MASK));
mappings.remove(mapping('}

', VK_0, ALT_GRAPH_MASK));
return mappings;
}
}

because these are not working with java.lang.Robot on windows os with german keyboard.

On mac os with german keyboard ALT_GRAPH_MASK is working with java.lang.Robot.

Therefore please add KeyStrokeMappingProvider_win_de to the fest-swing release.

Thanks,

Christian
