Bug ID: 146135
Summary: Impress Slide Number not processed by Impress if sent
from Python keyboard
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Cannot remotely change the slide number on a random access basis by sending the
slide no and and enter key from a Python script.
Tested on Win10x64, targetting Rpi4 when working.
Steps to Reproduce:
Try this Python snippet:
import keyboard
page = 30
keyboard.write( str(page), 0.1, True, None)
time.sleep(0.1)
keyboard.send('enter')
Save this file, and debug/run it.
Actual Results:
Slide increments by one.
Presumably the Enter key is processed?
Expected Results:
If you hand type '30<enter>' then Impress jumps to show slide 30.
Therefore, if you mimic the keyboard using this script to automate typing for
you, when Impress is in focus, I expected the slide to jump to 30.
The script works on Win10x64 when pointed at Notepad, so it's something in the
receiving app.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
It should have jumped to 30.
Perhaps it's a misunderstanding my side on how this is supposed to be
controlled?
(Opening a network listener with a simple API in Impress would be a better
solution. Perhaps that's in the pipeline?)
