How to print Russian character using Java?

Question

Java

Hello. Recently, I finally figured out how to enter text automatically through Robot .
The problem is this:
latin characters are entered wonderfully through the robot.keyPress() method , into which we pass the character code, defining it with getExtendedKeyCodeForChar . However, if we pass a Russian character there, we will get an exception :

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid key code

How can this be corrected? Perhaps there are tables (constants) of Russian codes?

Answer 1

You need to change the layout =)
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);
robot.delay(1); // required
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);
then make a table of correspondence between the buttons of the Russian and English keyboards
followed by the English code of the desired button.
