           Summary: generatekeyevent fails for slash and colon characters
           Product: LDTP
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ldtp
        AssignedTo: ldtp-maint at gnome.bugs

   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


ldtp.generatekeyevent function doesn't seem to generate the correct sequence
for some characters such as slash or colon.

For example, when testing firefox location bar:
>>> ldtp.launchapp("firefox"); ldtp.generatekeyevent("<ctrl>lhttp://www.gnome.org"); ldtp.gettextvalue("*Firefox", "txtLocation")

u'http\xd1--www.gnome.org'

Could that be related to the current keyboard layout?
Are there any escape sequence for those characters such as <slash> or <colon>?

Please let me know if there's any place in which all those escape sequences are
listed (ldtp.py doesn't point to any place).
