Can't toggle modifier keys

[cool-RR]

I've been trying to toggle the modifier keys, but I guess I'm doing something wrong:

>>> autopy.key.toggle(autopy.key.Modifier.ALT, False, [])
TypeError: Expected string or key code

How should this be done?

[msanders]

It should be: autopy.key.toggle("x", False, [autopy.key.Modifier.ALT]).

This looks like a dupe of #29, will have to add an example to the docs somewhere.

@msanders Where's the "x" coming from? I want toggle just the modifier key, nothing else.

[msanders]

Have you tried autopy.key.toggle("", False, [autopy.key.Modifier.ALT])? I think that should work but don't have time to test it out right now.

[cool-RR]

Nope:

TypeError: Expected string or key code

[msanders]

Ah I see. It looks like we need to add those as individual key codes, e.g. https://github.com/servo/core-foundation-rs/blob/8793a46/core-graphics/src/event.rs#L53.

Actually it looks like this is already available, just missing from the docs:

autopy.key.tap(autopy.key.Code.META, [])

[cool-RR]

Well, that sends the key, doesn't it? What I want is to toggle off the modifiers, in case they were pressed.

[msanders]

This should work: autopy.key.toggle(autopy.key.Code.META, False, []), was just pointing out the key code.

[cool-RR]

Okay, that works. Should be included in the docs, right?

[msanders]

👍 yup, should be included now.
