what can i do to support UTF-8, if i want to join the job.

from robotgo.

Fork -> Patch -> Push -> Test -> Pull Request. If i want to join the job, give me a PR, thank you.

i read the source:

void typeString(const char *str)
{
	while (*str != '\0') {
		tapUniKey(*str++);
	}
}

it seems not fit to type in UTF-8 character, like Chinese .

Thank you for your recommend. It 's busy in life now, wait for it, I solved it.

from robotgo.

It's easy to solve.

import "github.com/atotto/clipboard"

clipboard.WriteAll(text_chinese)
robot.KeyTap("v", "command")

from robotgo.

Good, I will use it as a transitional plan.
