Hi,

When I try to use "Press Key Native 517" to press Exclamation mark !, I always got "ERROR: Problem during keyDown: Invalid key code". But it works with numbers, letters and some special keys like tab, enter.

Best regards, Weibin

library version: robotframework-seleniumlibrary-2.9.1.win-amd64 + robotframework-2.7.4.win-amd64 Python: python-2.7.3.amd64 operating system: windows 7

Key pressing is handled outside this library so there isn't anything we really could do to it. If I remember correctly, it is actually handled also outside Selenium itself and done fully on Java. If I, again, remember correctly, these key codes changed slightly in Windows 7 for some reason.
