how to give ctrl+c command in robot framework

Question

In Robot Framework how do I give the ctrl+c command?

I have tried this line but it does not work

${crtl_c}    Evaluate    chr(int(3))    SSHLibrary.Write Bare    ${crtl_c}

Answer 1

Use imagehorizon as a library :

Press Combination    KEY.CTRL    C

Answer 2

Use PyAutoGUI

PyAutoGUI works on Windows/Mac/Linux on Python 2 & 3. Install from PyPI with pip install pyautogui

import pyautogui

def CntrlC():
    pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'c') #Performs ctrl+c

Now just import the py file and use CntrlC as the Keyword

Answer 3

${ctrl_c}    evaluate    chr(int(3))
SSHLibrary.Write Bare    ${crtl_c}

Or else you can give the line in variables section:

***variable***
${ctrl_c}    evaluate    chr(int(3))

Answer 4

Just got this working. The problem with the answers above is that you need an equal sign.

${ctrl-c}=                  evaluate      chr(int(3))
Write Bare                  ${ctrl-c}

Answer 5

Refering to a previous answer on an SO question where if you're on windows, the SendKeys python library is used to send actual key presses to the system. In case you're on a linux based system it pretty much depends on the GUI you're using and a few other factors. This SO Question has some good content that might help you.
