Hello, i’m using the free version of Katalon Studio and Recorder, and I’ve been having an issue i’m not sure how to fix. i am trying to use Recorder to perform automated testing of an iSeries overlay (the View/Hats) and it’s working well. but the Recorder is not allowing me to use sendKeys to do function button presses or even just the Enter key. if you’re familiar with the iSeries, then you know this is pretty essential. is there a workaround to get this to work? ---

The Google version I’m using now doesn’t work either. Some people say that the Firefox version can be used. ---

Could you share a sample on how it’s supposed to work? Command: sendKey Target: CTRL, T Doesn’t work. ---

Hi @koen.rens Thank you for your report. Currently, KR only works for a string or single special keys such as `${KEY_ENTER}` or `${KEY_CTRL}`, etc. We will see if it can be done and inform you when there’s news.
