Special keys are not working ([insert], [ctrl], [alt], [caps]) about syn

[matthewp]

You use [ctrl-up] to unpress it. Not sure about [caps], I can't get that one to work either. Will write a test for this.

[matthewp]

What is your use case for needing [caps] by the way? If course if you want to type AAA you can do that yourself, is there some other reason why Syn needs to control it?

[matthewp]

The test I added passes, showing that [ctrl] works as expected.

Hi, we are attempting to use FuncUnit to test our frontend and we are experiencing the same behaviour as the OP. I did not find what version of Syn is our FuncUnit using but our version of FuncUnit is not older than 3 weeks.
When I use:
var inputModuleTextArea = S(workflowsControl.getModuleTextarea()[0]); //just fetches the first input of specific class
inputModuleTextArea.type('[ctrl]a[ctrl-up][delete]'); //this deletes all text
inputModuleTextArea.type('Some sample text');
So far so good, but when I add next line:
inputModuleTextArea.type('[ctrl]z[ctrl-up]'); //our controller reacts to Ctrl+Z
it outputs this: Some sample textctrl

Other than that, typing [escape] instead of [ctrl]z[ctrl-up] also ends up like: Some sample textescape

We are already out of ideas. Has this been fixed or can you provide some solution or workaround if it hasn't, please?

There is a problem in the file mouse.support.js - missing checkSupport function.

var syn = require('./synthetic');
require('./mouse');

if (!document.body) {
    syn.schedule(function () {
        checkSupport(syn);
    }, 1);
} else {
    window.__synthTest = function () {
        syn.support.linkHrefJS = true;
    };

In code is condition

syn.support.ready === 2

and this never occurs, because the scheduler is not able to invoke the code in the else branche. Solution is to encapsulate this code into the appropriate function:

if (!document.body) {
    syn.schedule(function () {
        checkSupport(syn);
    }, 1);
} else {
    checkSupport(syn);
}
function checkSupport(syn) {
    window.__synthTest = function () {
        syn.support.linkHrefJS = true;
    };

This seems works for me. I will try to fix it.
