Pywinauto keyboard not recognizing double letters

Question

I am trying to type shortcut ALT + C + C, but only takes first letter ALT + C which in code translates:

processId = 0
try:
    app.connect(process=processId)
except:
    print("issue not found")
win = app.window(top_level_only=False, visible_only=False, found_index=0)
winUia = win.wrapper_object()
winUia.type_keys("{VK_MENU down}CC{VK_MENU up}", set_foreground=True, pause=.5, vk_packet=False, with_spaces=True)

I would recommend you do the sequence twice with a single C and see if that works as you expect. — Jarvis, Aug 20 '22 at 18:42
`”{VK_MENU down}C{VK_MENU up}{VK_MENU down}C{VK_MENU up}”` is what I was suggesting… also you could try either method with lowercase c. — Jarvis, Aug 21 '22 at 00:09

Managed to do it like

winUia.type_keys("{VK_MENU down}(CC 2){VK_MENU up}", set_foreground=True, pause=.5, vk_packet=False, with_spaces=True)

Interesting, is the `(CC 2)` standard syntax for getting it to do an entry multiple times? – Jarvis Sep 01 '22 at 17:22
This is what I tried and worked – Adrian Sep 02 '22 at 12:20
