It doesn't send ascii char ! to program - it sends keyboard's code to system (probably code for key 1 which in standard layout is used for char !) and system decides what char send to program. If your system has non-standard layout then system may send wrong char.
Probably only using clipboad you can send it correctly. If you will use clipboard to copy single char and wait 0.1s between chars then you can get similar result.
Copyimport time
import pyperclip
import pyautogui
time.sleep(2)
for char in 'Hello World!':
pyperclip.copy(char)
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'v', interval=0.1)
BTW: using print(pyautogui.__file__) you can find folder with source code and in file _pyautogui_win.py you can see what key codes it uses in Windows.
You should see key codes assigned to chars using also
Window:
Copyprint(pyautogui._pyautogui_win.keyboardMapping)
Linux:
Copyprint(pyautogui._pyautogui_x11.keyboardMapping)
Maybe if you change values in keyboardMapping then it will send it correctly but for every layout you would have to set different values.
For example on Linux this
Copyimport pyautogui
#pyautogui._pyautogui_win.keyboardMapping['!'] = 12
pyautogui._pyautogui_x11.keyboardMapping['!'] = 12
pyautogui.typewrite('!!!')
gives me ### instead of !!!

This seems to be a known issue:
https://github.com/asweigart/pyautogui/issues/38
User on Windows 7, Python 3.4, running PyAutoGUI 0.9.30 and a French "AZERTY" keyboard reported being unable to simulate pressing :
Running the unit tests, they got these results:
[...]
a
ba
.Hello world§
https://github.com/asweigart/pyautogui/pull/55
https://github.com/asweigart/pyautogui/issues/137
With AppleScript I made this for use in Automator:
https://gist.github.com/SuperHofstad/f826985ec536ff2d650699cb37a7fadc
set appPass to "PASSWORD" as text
tell application "System Events"
delay 0.5
repeat until exists process "SecurityAgent"
delay 0.5
end repeat
tell process "SecurityAgent"
keystroke appPass
key code 36
end tell
end tell
You may be typing too fast. Try pyautogui.typewrite(password, interval=0.2)
Hey everyone I am having an issue with pyautogui.I cannot type * sign with pyautogui.
pyautogui.typewrite("E1*13R")
This line gives this output: "E113R" on my german keyboard. Also I haber written all characters with ASCII codes:
for i in range(1,255):
stri=str(i)+":"
pyautogui.typewrite(stri)
pyautogui.typewrite(chr(i))
pyautogui.typewrite('\n')
none of them were "*". I have tried both turkish and german keyboards. none of them typed * with this code. What could be the issue here?
import time
import pyautogui
time.sleep(3)
numbers = 601
while True:
time.sleep(0.3)
pyautogui.write(numbers)
pyautogui.press("enter")
numbers = numbers+1I just want to type the variable "numbers" but pyautogui don't want to
Any ideas ?
As of version 1.0 there is no difference between write and typewrite. The write function has been chosen as the preferred invocation but currently write is just an alias for typewrite:
write = typewrite # In PyAutoGUI 1.0, write() replaces typewrite().
The typewrite() function is used to type something in a text field. in the other side the write() function does the same thing!
Hi,
I began programming with python (and in general) a couple of weeks ago. So I am still a total noob with it (in case the answer is so obvious it hurts). Recently I installed the module 'pyautogui' and although it's awesome I have a 'big' trouble with typewrite().
I use a ES Keyboard (Spanish Layout) and when I use typewrite() using some symbols, for example: pyautogui.typewrite('xxxxx@gmail.com') or the '/' (/usr/local/lib) it types not @ but " and not / but 7. (the spanish layout is this one : https://www.terena.org/activities/multiling/ml-mua/test/img/kbd_spanish.gif).
I also have an US keyboard (the author of the module is Mr. Sweigart who is, as far as i know, american) so i tried to use some kind of comibation with it like pyautogui.keyDown(shift); pyautogui.press(2) to type @ (and the same to type /) and it didn't work out. (clarification: I used all the time in the process my ES keyboard but I knew where those keys where on the US keyboard and how to type them, so for example to type @ in the US Keyboard you just need to pressshift + 2, while on the spanish one is rightalt + 2, so what i did is, using my ES keyboard, pressed shift + 2 as in the US keyboard) So is it possible to type down special characters like those or any like €, %, $... using my ES Keyboard or do i have to change the OS Keyboard (ubuntu 14.04 btw) to US and use my US Keyboard?.
Thank you very much in advance. And sorry if I misspelled.
