Bug Description

in 1.0.1 IDE, neither

 type(Key.LEFT, KeyModifier.SHIFT + KeyModifier.CTRL)
or
 type(Key.HOME, KeyModifier.SHIFT + KeyModifier.CTRL)

behave like CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT or CTRL+SHIFT+HOME (all keys pressed together) which select text to the left of the cursor in FF, IE, Chrome, Opera and Safari. Shouldn't these commands work? I can do these manually, but in a script they do not work the same.

thanks
Joe

at least on Mac/Safari, type(Key.LEFT, Key.SHIFT + Key.CTRL) works as expected.

I confirm, that there are some key combinations used for editing in text fields, that do not behave as expected in some environments.

Currently we have to live with these problems.

For version 1.2 (available 2015) I plan some higher level typing support, that can be configured for special situations (including the support of non-US keyboards)
