How to send "Ctrl + c" in Sikuli?

Question

This feels like it should be pretty easy but I can't find documentation on how to do this:

I just want Sikuli to type Ctrl+C to copy text to the clipboard.

type(KEY_CTRL+'c') doesn't work and neither does type(KEY_CTRL,'c').

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Try using type("c",KEY_CTRL) instead.

I wrote a simple script which types a line in notepad, double clicks it to mark it and then ctrl+x ctrl+v it into the document again. Works great.

openApp("notepad.exe")  find("textfield.png" ) type("Some text") doubleClick("theText.png")  type("x", KEY_CTRL)  click("theTextField.png" ) type("v",KEY_CTRL) 

Answer 2

The following works in 0.9 and newer versions of sikuli

type('x', KeyModifier.CTRL)
