selenium: SendKeys does not work correctly with non-US keyboard settings

Meta -

OS: Windows 10

Selenium Version: 3.5.1

Browser: Internet Explorer

Browser Version: 11.540.15063.0

Expected Behavior -

new Actions(driver).sendKeys("RD:.* PN:TEST-PA\\ST-1").perform(); should send RD:.* PN:TEST-PA\ST-1 into the focused text field

Actual Behavior -

new Actions(driver).sendKeys("RD:.* PN:TEST-PA\\ST-1").perform(); sends RD:.* PN:TEST-PAßST-1 into the focused text field

Steps to reproduce -

Execute new Actions(driver).sendKeys("RD:.* PN:TEST-PA\\ST-1").perform(); under german keyboard settings. If you use us settings, everything works like expected.

More Information -

With the previous version (3.4.0) of iedriver everything works like expected.

Here is the log from 3.5.1 with german keyboard setting (error):

@JouperCoding I have solved this by typing @ separately using following code: _driver.FindElement(By.Id("EmailAddress")).SendKeys(Keys.Control + Keys.Alt + "2");

I have the same issue with Hungarian keyboard and for example @ sign, which is AltGr + V at us. Is this planned to be fixed soon? Thank you.

I think this might be related to the issue I have with swedish keyboard. Any character that requires the AltGr key fails in version 3.5.1 but works in 3.4.0.

For example: SendKeys(“@”) will simply put a “2” into the browser. 2 is the character that Swedish keyboards produces for the same key as @ without AltGR. (AltGr is the same as CTRL+ALT).

The same code works just fine with US keyboard set in windows.

I have compiled the source from git and that version fails in the same way as well. I did a possibly very dirty fix in InputManager.cpp -> AddKeyboardInput that fixes my problem. I also tested the issue described by @mseele by adding a German keyboard in windows and that issue was solved as well by the same fix. If anyone wants to look at the change I did in InputManager.cpp you can find it here:

@devolution2409 Quite sure. It was fixed in 3.9.0.2, as clearly noted in the IE driver CHANGELOG. This means it was publicly available in 3.10.0.0.

Oh! Sorry, we misunderstood your intention 😃 Yes, it seems to be a legit but in IE driver, it types “ßS” instead of “\S”
