What's the KeyEvent for pipe? I mean this key - '|'.
I'm using java.awt.Robot.keyPress and I can't find a way to send send '|'.
The KeyEvent.VK_BACK_SLASH mentioned here in a different question is not doing it.
Couldn't find it.
Thanks!

So, is it VK_BACK_SLASH? – Shl Aug 13 '18 at 12:56

1Yes, and combined with the Shift modifier. – 4castle Aug 13 '18 at 12:59

1@4castle So on a keyboard with german layout it would be VK_LESS with the VK_ALT_GRAPH modifier? – Gyro Gearless Aug 13 '18 at 13:02

Yes. These comments are very layout-specific. US, German, French, and other keyboards all have the `|` on a different key. – DodgyCodeException Aug 13 '18 at 13:12

@GyroGearless I don't know, but `KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCodeForChar('|')` should give the right output if they're just trying to call java.awt.Robot.keyPress. – 4castle Aug 13 '18 at 13:17

KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCodeForChar('|') returns some big number and it's not pressing '|' on my computer. – Shl Aug 13 '18 at 13:18
