sendKeyRepeatEvent method
- LogicalKeyboardKey key,
- {String? platform,
- String? character,
- PhysicalKeyboardKey? physicalKey}
Simulates sending a key repeat event from a physical keyboard.
This only simulates key repeat events coming from a physical keyboard, not from a soft keyboard.
Specify platform as one of the platforms allowed in
platform.Platform.operatingSystem to make the event appear to be from
that type of system. If not specified, defaults to "web" on web, and the
operating system name based on defaultTargetPlatform everywhere else.
Specify the physicalKey for the event to override what is included in
the simulated event. If not specified, it uses a default from the US
keyboard layout for the corresponding logical key.
Specify the character for the event to override what is included in the
simulated event. If not specified, it uses a default derived from the
logical key.
Keys that are down when the test completes are cleared after each test.
Returns true if the key event was handled by the framework.
See also:
- sendKeyDownEvent and sendKeyUpEvent to simulate the corresponding key down and up event.
- sendKeyEvent to simulate both the key up and key down in the same call.
Implementation
Future<bool> sendKeyRepeatEvent(
LogicalKeyboardKey key, {
String? platform,
String? character,
PhysicalKeyboardKey? physicalKey
}) async {
// Internally wrapped in async guard.
return simulateKeyRepeatEvent(key, platform: platform, character: character, physicalKey: physicalKey);
}
