[1.1.4] Numpad keys not working together with keyDown(Key.ALT) --- workaround: use type(u"ö") instead

[Bharatendu SOUMIL]

------------------------------------------ workaround ;-)

The type on Windows is completely revised, so it now accepts any unicode sequence.

usage:
type(u"äöüß@§")

will type the given characters as expected.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install SikuliX 1.1.4
2. Try the following lines to type the "ü" character :
    keyDown(Key.ALT)
    type(Key.NUM1)
    type(Key.NUM2)
    type(Key.NUM9)
    keyUp(Key.ALT)
code compiles perfectly well but you wont see the "ü" as desired. This code worked perfectly fine with older versions....The NUM keys work perfectly fine if used individually like type(Key.NUM1), but not together with the keyDown function

3. Tested with Windows 10 machine using Sikul1X1.1.4

It is not yet documented, since it is only available for Windows and not for Mac.

So your workaround should no longer be needed, but should still be useable in case.

Sweet :) ...does work with type(u"ö")

Also cheers for fixing special chars like "@",".",":"...work perfectly fine on German keyboards with type() :), so I don't have to rely on paste() anymore :D
