Keyboard

You can find the following setting under Project->Settings->Simulation->Keyboard.

Setting	Description
Keyboard input delay	When you use a control which accepts text input, there is a delay between the time you click on the control and the time you can start entering text. With this setting, you can specify the delay in milliseconds (ms). The default value is 150. Increase the delay if the first characters you enter in the control are missing. Reduce the delay to wait less between clicking on the control and entering text. For example: 150.
Use keyboard layout	Set to True if you want Tosca to use the current keyboard layout, for the expressions such as TEXTINPUT, KEYPRESS, KEYUP and KEYDOWN. You may want to enable this setting if you want to send text inputs to virtual machines or Citrix systems, but SENDKEYS or TEXTINPUT commands do however not work. To set this for a specific test case, you can use the UseKeyboardLayout test configuration parameter. The test configuration parameter overrides this global setting.

Set to True if you want Tosca to use the current keyboard layout, for the expressions such as TEXTINPUT, KEYPRESS, KEYUP and KEYDOWN.

You may want to enable this setting if you want to send text inputs to virtual machines or Citrix systems, but SENDKEYS or TEXTINPUT commands do however not work.

Mouse

You can find the following setting under Project->Settings->Simulation->Mouse.

Setting	Description
Mouse delay	This setting defines the speed for the cursor when performing tests on HTML applications. The default value 20. The higher the value, the slower is the pace. Possible values are between 0 and 1000. To set this for a specific test case, you can use the MouseDelay test configuration parameter. The test configuration parameter overrides this global setting. For example: 20.
